About the Opportunity
About the Opportunity
The Multidisciplinary Graduate Engineering (MGEN) unit, within the College of Engineering, invites applications for the Adjunct Faculty position for teaching selected graduate courses for the multidisciplinary masters degree programs in Silicon Valley (San Jose, California).
The MGEN unit seeks to produce more effective software engineers who are substantially more capable than ever of addressing the needs of digital society in terms of time, cost, and quality. The unit will accomplish this by revolutionizing the way software is designed and evolved overtime, and believe software is a systems engineering challenge rather than a coding problem. See website for details of programs: http://www.coe.neu.edu/graduate-school/multidisciplinary
Responsibilities:
Teach selected graduate courses within the multidisciplinary masters degree programs. See website for details of programs: http://www.coe.neu.edu/graduate-school/multidisciplinary
Responsibilities include preparation of lectures, course materials, examinations, and evaluation of student performance in the course.
The multidisciplinary masters suite of degree programs in Silicon Valley include:
MS in Information Systems focuses on the intersection of cutting-edge technology and business complexity with an emphasis on the art and science of designing intricate software applications especially in the areas of healthcare, security and privacy, auditing and compliance, business improvement and intelligence, as well as financial accountability. Courses include application engineering and development, engineering big-data systems, and engineering secure software systems.
MS in Information Systems Bridge is focused for students with non-STEM, non-technical bachelor's degrees that are the knowledge link between business users and technologists by understanding the complexities of both. Students' undergraduate work in the humanities provides them with a unique perspective and approach in developing systems via a socio-technical lens. Students take courses specifically designed to bridge their current professional pursuits with the background and industry knowledge needed to advance in the IT sector. As industries launch into a digitized future, professionals with a clear understanding of how technology can be used to address large societal challenges are in demand.
