3. POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: Multiple Tenure Track or Tenured Faculty, Campbell University
Campbell University (http://www.campbell.edu/engineering/) seeks three engineering faculty for full-time, tenure-track positions at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor. One position in Mechanical Engineering begins Fall 2018 and is focused on teaching the thermal, energy and fluid sciences. Two positions (one in Mechanical Engineering, focused on teaching a common senior design sequence, and one in Electrical Engineering, focused on teaching sophomore and junior-level courses) begin in January 2019. These present faculty with a unique opportunity to provide leadership in building an innovative BS in Engineering program (with concentrations in mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering) that began in Fall 2016. Duties will include: develop, implement and teach project-based engineering curricula; engage in the scholarship of teaching and learning, student advising, student organizations, assessment, accreditation activities, and committee responsibilities. Candidates must be committed to innovative engineering undergraduate education and the University’s mission. Candidates must have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, respectively, or a closely related engineering discipline; experience developing and teaching project-based engineering curricula; and knowledge of the current practices and research pertaining to innovative undergraduate engineering curricula.

5. POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: Postdoctoral Researcher, Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach
The Center for Engineering Education and Outreach invites applications for a full-time postdoctoral scholar to work on studying teacher learning in K-12 engineering education. The initial appointment is for the academic year 2018-2019, renewable for up to two years total.
The position looks at teacher learning, particularly teacher noticing, across two NSF-funded projects. The first, Developing Teacher Noticing in Engineering in an Online Professional Development Program, looks at how elementary teachers make progress in noticing engineering thinking in students via an eighteen-month certificate program that is provides content and pedagogy courses completely online (teep.tufts.edu). The second, Designing Biomimetic Robots, a collaborative project between Tufts and TERC, is developing interdisciplinary middle school curricula using Hummingbird robotics to connect biomimicry and engineering design.
The position requires a PhD and experience in qualitative research. Applications are encouraged from those with backgrounds in K-12 STEM education. Any expertise in studying responsive teaching or teacher noticing, design or facilitation of teacher professional development, middle school science/engineering curriculum development, or online learning environments should be highlighted in the letter of application. Please submit a letter of application, including descriptions of your background and research interests, a CV, and the names of three references to CEEO department administrator Magee Shalhoub (Magee.shalhoub@tufts.edu). Questions about the position or application process can be directed to CEEO Director, Merredith Portsmore (Merredith.Portmore@tufts.edu). The full job posting can be found here.

6. CALL FOR PAPERS: Global Engineering Education Conference
Abstract Submission Deadline: 25 May 2018, Full Paper – August 30, 2018
On November 12 through 16, 2018, the University of New Mexico School of Engineering will host the global Engineering Education conference, WEEF-GEDC 2018, combining the VIII World Engineering Education Forum, the X Global Engineering Deans Council, the XV Global Student Forum and the First Ever Global Career Fair, and including the joint annual summit of the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) and the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC).
The theme of the WEEF-GEDC 2018 conference is Peace Engineering: engineers solving global social, economic, and environmental problems to lead towards prosperity and wellbeing, sustainability, social equity, diversity, and a culture of quality, innovation and entrepreneurship. How do we teach Peace engineering to diverse students all over the world? How do we form the collaborative relationships among diverse organizations to solve problems constructively? How do we educate our students to understand and work ethically and intelligently towards Peace?
Suggested themes include:
· Teaching and learning about peace engineering
· Relationships among academia, industry, governments, multilateral organizations, NGOs?
· Hands-on education and experiential learning
· Innovation and entrepreneurship in the circular economy
This event, held for the first time in the United States, is expected to attract over 1500 participants from around the world. It is a collaboration of UNM with the Ibero-American Science and Education Consortium (ISTEC) and the Global Innovation Network for Entrepreneurship and Technology (GINET).
