Faculty in Electrical Engineering Technology (EET): Part-time

Be part of Excelsior’s growing presence in St. Petersburg and help shape an innovative, workforce-focused engineering program that blends flexibility with hands-on learning. Excelsior University is growing—and we’re making a meaningful investment in education and workforce development in the St. Petersburg, Florida community. As we expand our hybrid learning model, we are building a dynamic pool of part-time faculty and lab instructors to support our undergraduate Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of applied engineering education while working with adult learners developing real-world, career-ready skills. Our hybrid EET program blends the flexibility of asynchronous online learning with the power of hands-on, in-person labs at our St. Petersburg site. As an instructor, you will guide students through both environments—teaching online while leading lab sessions that reinforce applied skills and workforce readiness. Courses are delivered in an 8-week format , with the majority of content—including theory, discussions, and assignments—offered asynchronously online. On-site lab sessions are typically 3 hours, held in the evenings every other week to provide hands-on, applied learning that complements online instruction. Depending on qualifications and program needs, instructors may be assigned to courses such as: ELEC152 – Circuit Theory I: Fundamentals of circuit analysis (DC circuits, power, energy, circuit theorems) ELEC153 – Circuit Theory II: AC circuit analysis (phasors, impedance, resonance, filters) ELEC160 – Electronics I: Semiconductor devices, biasing, amplifier design ELEC161 – Electronics II: Advanced electronics including operational amplifiers, filters, oscillators, and high-frequency circuits Key Responsibilities: Facilitate engaging in-person and hybrid lab sessions aligned with course outcomes Demonstrate subject matter expertise through active engagement in discussions, learning activities, and applied instruction Create an effective and engaging learning environment through consistent and meaningful online presence and communication Reinforce online learning through practical demonstrations, real-world applications, and connections between theory and practice Guide students through applied learning activities such as: DC and AC circuit analysis and troubleshooting Breadboarding and prototyping Use of oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, and simulation tools Semiconductor device testing and amplifier design Operational amplifier circuits, filters, and frequency response analysis Challenge students’ thinking and support critical analysis across perspectives and settings Provide timely, substantive, and constructive feedback on assignments and lab performance Maintain clear academic standards and support student success through ongoing communication and responsiveness Maintain safe, functional, and industry-relevant lab environments Collaborate with faculty, site staff, and technicians to ensure a seamless hybrid learning experience Contribute to the continuous improvement of Excelsior’s hybrid instructional model Required Qualifications: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Technology, or a closely related field Minimum of 2 years of industry or technical experience Ability to support both asynchronous online instruction and in-person lab facilitation Familiarity with standard laboratory equipment and safety protocols Preferred Qualifications: Doctoral degree in a related discipline College-level teaching experience, particularly with adult and nontraditional learners Experience with online teaching platforms and learning management systems Industry certifications or licensure (e.g., PE, CET) Demonstrated ability to integrate workforce-relevant skills into instruction Application Note This posting is for a pool of part-time instructors. Teaching assignments will be based on qualifications, availability, and program needs. Candidates may be considered for multiple courses and lab sections. Compensation is provided at a rate of $1,000 per credit hour per course, with low-enrollment courses paid at a directed study rate. The salary range reflects the University’s good faith estimate at the time of posting.
