The Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks applications for quarterly lecturers (QLs) for the 2025-2026 academic year to teach Mechanical Engineering courses. Santa Clara University operates on a quarter system. Each quarter (fall, winter, and spring) is 10 weeks long, with an extra week for final examinations. Graduate classes are typically held during the 7:10-9:00 a.m., 5:25-7:15 p.m., and 7:25-9:15 p.m. time slots. Undergraduate classes are held at various times throughout the day (Monday-Friday). QLs are allowed to teach up to 4-course equivalencies (CEs) per academic year with no more than 2 CEs in any particular quarter. Additionally, QLs are allowed to teach an additional 2 CEs during the summer terms. Generally, course equivalencies are: UNDERGRADUATE: 4 unit lecture = 1 CE, 1 unit lab = 0.5 CE, 1 unit lab with a teaching assistant (TA) = 0.25; GRADUATE: 4 unit lecture = 1 CE, 2 unit lecture = 0.66 CE.
