Description

START DATE: Summer 2026

PURPOSE OF POSITION: Teach and lead mechanical engineering and/or general engineering courses at the undergraduate level and contribute to the department and institution through industry outreach and collaboration, alongside academic scholarship and service.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Demonstrate a personal commitment to a Reformed-Biblical perspective and the mission of Dordt University, along with the ability to articulate how this Christian perspective shapes the teaching and practice of engineering.
  • Teach and develop mechanical and general engineering courses, and courses related to the candidate's area of expertise.

  • Collaborate with industry partners to ensure the mechanical engineering program delivers appropriate goals and outcomes for student learning; oversee internship sites and other resources necessary to a successful engineering program. 
  • Participate as a full team member in department and university administrative tasks, including student recruiting and advising, curriculum development and program assessment, committee assignments, and accreditation processes. 
  • Participate in the Core program and campus life of Dordt University. 
  • Develop and implement a personal annual contribution and professional development plan consistent with university and departmental goals for teaching, scholarship, outreach, and service; use the plan as part of regular self-assessment. 
  • Other duties as assigned.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Express an active Christian commitment, which shall include affiliation with a local, confessionally Reformed congregation that actively supports the mission of Dordt University. 
  • Personal endorsement of and commitment to the curricular design set forth in The Task and Educational Framework of Dordt University. 
  • A master's degree in a mechanical-related engineering discipline is the minimum educational qualification required; preference will be given to candidates who have industry experience, professional certification, or licensure in an engineering discipline, and to those with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering or a related field. 
  • Expertise in areas such as general engineering fundamentals, engineering mechanics, machine design, thermos-fluid systems, energy systems, metallurgy, manufacturing, sensors and instrumentation, industrial automation, project management, and/or other related mechanical engineering design or manufacturing discipline. 
  • Experience in providing professional development or educating others is desired. A commitment to excellence in university-level teaching, including curriculum design, classroom management, and ongoing student learning assessment is required. 
  • Ability to foster and develop industrial partnerships in mechanical, manufacturing, or industrial engineering.
  • Oral and written communication skills and interpersonal abilities that enable effective collaboration with students, faculty and staff, community members, and other professionals.

Participating in the educational task of Dordt University is to be understood as a calling. When disciples of Christ hear and accept God's call to participate in the task of Dordt University, they occupy a variety of offices. Participating in the work of development and sharing insight is not merely an occupation or a means to gain financial security or self-esteem, but a task to which God calls us. When this sense of office consciousness is lost, we lose the essential meaning of our work. Therefore, Dordt University seeks to develop and foster an atmosphere where all office-bearers can flourish in fulfilling the calling of their office (from the Educational Task of Dordt University found at: ).
