About the University and Department

The Department of Engineering & Computing Education (DECE) in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Cincinnati (UC) invites applications for multiple non-tenure track faculty positions at all levels (Assistant, Associate and Full). DECE was created in 2007 with the goals of delivering the highest quality teaching and learning experience for the CEAS students, as well as advancing the scholarship of teaching and learning through a rigorous research enterprise. The department provides undergraduate students with tutoring, mentoring, advising and other support services, as well as valuable research opportunities. Graduate students learn about conducting fundamental research on engineering learning and bridging research and practice by defining effective practices, investigating (or identifying) the reasons for their effectiveness, developing curricula, assessing how students learn, and moving those findings into future engineering classrooms. Faculty in the department teach fundamental courses in undergraduate engineering, as well as graduate courses in the discipline of engineering education.
