Program: Civil Engineering Technology
Position Type: Part-time, adjunct
Semester: Spring 2027
Compensation: $850 - $1000 per credit, based on adjunct faculty rank (determined by education and experience)
NHTI is seeking qualified adjunct faculty to teach courses within our Civil Engineering Technology A.S. program, including such courses on 1) Soil Mechanics and Foundation Design, 2) Timber and Steel Design, 3) Reinforced Concrete Design. NHTI's Civil Engineering Technology degree program combines civil engineering and technology theory with a solid foundation in math and science. You'll learn the fundamentals of CVET, teamwork, and presentations through hands-on activities in NHTI labs.
Course Name: CVET 202C: Soil Mechanics and Foundation Design
This course deals with the fundamentals of soil mechanics. Topics covered include moisture-density relations, mechanical and chemical gradation properties, basic shear strength theory, permeability, and compression. Lecture topics will be supplemented by field observations and lab work. On completion of this course, students will understand the essential elements of soil mechanics theory such that it may parlay into practical applications.
Course Name: CVET 240C: Timber and Steel Design
The study of structural steel and timber that involves the design and analysis of beams with regard to bending, shear, and deflection. Columns are studied with respect to axial and eccentric loading. Miscellaneous structural elements such as beam-bearing plates, column base plates, and welded and bolted connections are also designed. The student is taught to make calculations manually then with the aid of computer software. The lab time (2 hours per week) is dedicated to activities during which the student is fully involved in the design, analysis, construction, and testing of timber and steel beams, columns, connections, bracing systems, load packages, and simple frames. The observations and results are documented through calculations, drawings, photos, and computer-aided design.
Course Name: CVET 235C: Reinforced Concrete Design
Learn the fundamentals of design and analysis of steel reinforced concrete structures including beams, floor and roof slab systems, columns, foundation footings, and structural walls. Design sketches based on calculations and in accordance with the latest American Concrete Institute (ACI) building code requirements are prepared. Also a major lab project including designing, building, and testing a reinforced concrete beam is done by student teams.
Individuals with a Bachelor’s degree in the subject/content area or closely related field to the teaching assignment, or a Bachelor’s degree in Education and an Associate’s degree in the subject/content area closely related to the teaching assignment combined with three (3) years of related teaching or professional work experience shall be considered as meeting the subject/content area requirements.
Master’s degree in the subject/content area, or a Master’s degree in Education with twelve (12) graduate credits in the subject/content area or closely related to the teaching assignment and a Bachelor’s degree in the subject/content area closely related to the teaching assignment combined with a minimum of two (2) years of related teaching and/or professional work experience is preferred. Individuals must possess required licenses or certifications as required within the field.
Residency: Must reside in NH, VT, ME, MA, RI, or CT.
Submit a completed employment application with a cover letter, CV/resume, and copies of official or unofficial transcripts. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. Employment history sections stating “see resume” will not be accepted.
