School of EngineerinG Education

The School of Engineering Education at Purdue University invites applications for tenure track positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor levels. We seek to attract exceptional candidates with expertise in engineering education from pre-kindergarten through college and into engineering practice. We have a new state-of-the-art research facility that includes the Institute for P-12 Engineering Research and Learning (INSPIRE), research programs focused on college-level engineering students and the professional development of faculty and engagement and research with industry on learning and innovation.

The School is a vibrant, young and growing community of scholars who are envisaging ways of transforming engineering education based on scholarship and research. The programs we administer include the first-year engineering program at Purdue (some 2500 students), bachelor degrees in multidisciplinary engineering and interdisciplinary engineering studies, and a PhD program in engineering education. The scholarly activities of our current faculty can be found here: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ENE/Research/ResearchReport

Successful candidates must hold a PhD degree in engineering or education or related discipline and at least one degree in engineering with expertise in engineering education research. Commensurate with the rank, we seek individuals who have either established themselves in a field of research congruent with the mission and goals of the school or have demonstrated the potential to do so. They will develop a nationally recognized, externally funded research program in engineering education, advise graduate students, teach undergraduate and graduate level courses, including in the first-year engineering program, and will perform service both at the School and University levels. Successful candidates will also have a demonstrated commitment to collegiality and interdisciplinarity. Candidates with experience working with diverse groups of students, faculty, and staff and the ability to contribute to an inclusive climate are particularly encouraged to apply.
