Initiative Title | Full Time Tenure Track Engineering Instructor |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | In 2021 Dr. Stillman retired. He was our only electrical engineer. The rigorous nature of the physics and engineering courses makes finding qualified adjuncts for this area a difficult task. It is imperative that the department secure a full time instructor to maintain the high level of excellence that the physics and engineering program is known for and to address the growth of the program. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | It is difficult to find part-time physics/engineering professors with the appropriate background to teach our college level engineering offerings. Physics for Engineers and Circuit Theory are advanced specialty courses. If skilled instructors cannot be found our existing FT faculty will need to cover the course and lower level physics courses will be taught by part-time instructors and some courses may not be offered. Maintaining the laboratory space and advising students requires the dedication of full time faculty. |
