Faculty Expertise

The faculty serving on Instructional Councils are best positioned to provide consistent, expert evaluation of faculty coursework and credentials so as to determine relevance within a specific teaching field. Therefore, Human Resources, Department/Division Chairs, Deans, VPAAs, and other stakeholders must coordinate with the relevant Instructional Councils to determine if the established minimum qualifications are met by candidates for Faculty (Residential, Adjunct, or Dual Enrollment) positions.

Academic

A graduate degree is required. A faculty may qualify with any of the following:

  • Master’s degree or higher in the teaching field OR
  • Master’s degree or higher in any field with 18 graduate credit hours

The following disciplines meet the requirements to teach in this field:

Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Applied Physics, Applied Mechanics, Architectural Engineering, Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering, Biosystems Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computational Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Construction Engineering, Data Science Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Engineering Education, Engineering Physics, Engineering Science, Engineering Technology, Environmental Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Material Science Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Optical Science Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Software Engineering, Sustainable Engineering, and Systems Engineering.

The preceding list of sub-disciplines within the field of Engineering is intended as representative and does not limit acceptance of similar titles by the Engineering Instructional Council as relevant and applicable.

Course Subjects

AME, AM, APH, AME, BME, ENGR, CEE, CE, CHE, CHEM, CSE, CS, CSC, CENE, EE, EEE, ECEN, ECE, ENE, EGR, EP, ENVE, EE, SIE, ME, MAE, MSE, MNE, NE, OPT, PETE,

The preceding lists of possible course prefixes are intended as being representative of most engineering disciplines but other prefixes and titles within engineering disciplines exist. Furthermore, just because a course has one of the prefixes listed above does not guarantee that it should count as an engineering course. Course descriptions or syllabi may be needed to determine the content and level of the course.
