Who We Are:

Are you ready to work at a dynamic institution that believes in higher education with lower obstacles? Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology (now known as Franklin Cummings Tech) is a nationally accredited non-profit, technical college serving Massachusetts. The college was seeded in 1791 with funds from the estate of Benjamin Franklin given to the City of Boston to proliferate access to apprenticeship and entrepreneurship. Today, that legacy has evolved into an accredited college that delivers accessible tech and trade education to level the playing field for aspiring talent.

With a mission to deliver transformative technical and trade education that leads to economic advancement, Franklin Cummings Tech offers a unique mix of certificates and degrees that appeal to enterprising students from Eastern Massachusetts and respond to employer demand for a well-prepared workforce. Intentional partnerships with the industries we serve coupled with high graduation and job placement rates, recently attracted the largest philanthropic gift in the history of the college from the Cummings Foundation, helping to spur incredible growth in the past four years.

Franklin Cummings Tech educates more than 1,000 learners annually across three student types: 1) certificate and degree seekers, 2) continuing education enrollees, and 3) early college students. As evidence that our mission holds resonance student enrollment is up and Fall 2027 applications have soared 16% year over year.

We seek optimistic, data-informed, and dedicated colleagues who are eager to increase student success outcomes and boost total enrollment to 1,500 learners by 2030. Join us in this mission-driven work!

Position Summary:

The Department of Engineering Technology is seeking applications for a part-time adjunct instructor position in Engineering Technology. The candidate will be responsible for teaching courses in building energy management and automated building control systems. We are seeking a qualified and enthusiastic Lecturer to teach CT148: C++ and Python Programming (4 Credits). The successful candidate will deliver high-quality instruction in modern programming languages with an emphasis on embedded systems development using Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms. The role involves combining theoretical instruction with practical laboratory sessions to prepare students for real-world embedded systems applications. The position requires on-site and hybrid modes of delivery of coursework. The course will pay $1,178 per credit.

Course Description

CT148 introduces students to two contemporary programming languages, C++ and Python, focusing on their use in embedded systems. Students learn the syntax, programming concepts, and practical applications of both languages before applying them to develop embedded solutions using Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The course explores Python for high-level control, data processing, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, while C++ is used for low-level hardware interaction and real-time processing. Through hands-on projects, students integrate sensors, actuators, and communication protocols to gain practical experience in embedded systems development.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver lectures, tutorials, and laboratory sessions for CT148.
• Teach programming fundamentals and advanced concepts in C++ and Python.
• Guide students in developing embedded systems applications using Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
• Supervise practical projects involving sensors, actuators, and communication protocols.
• Develop course materials, laboratory exercises, assignments, and assessments.
• Evaluate student performance and provide constructive feedback.
• Maintain a safe, engaging, and collaborative learning environment.
• Stay current with developments in embedded systems, IoT technologies, and programming practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering Technology, Software Engineering, or a related field (Master's degree preferred).
• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python programming.
• Experience with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and embedded systems development.
• Knowledge of IoT concepts, sensor integration, and communication protocols.
• Previous teaching or training experience is an advantage.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
