Department Information
Who We Are
With three campuses along Colorado's Front Range, FRCC is the state's largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.
Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the "Top Online Colleges" in the country by Newsweek.
One of FRCC's main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college's strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment-one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC's focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.
The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.
FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We're looking to hire people who share these values-along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence.
Description of Job
Who You Are
As an Automation and Engineering Technology (AET) faculty member, you will provide student-centered instruction for Front Range Community College students in programs that will train students for employment as industrial maintenance and industry technicians. The program is one of four that is located in FRCC's 27,000 square foot Center for Integrated Technology (CIM) in Longmont, CO. This faculty will be expected to teach at the Center for Integrated Manufacturing and off-site training locations. This faculty position will be responsible for providing instruction for two advanced manufacturing programs, Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) and Automation & Engineering Technology (AET).
As a faculty member, you will teach courses which could include Fundamentals of Electricity, Solid State Electronics, RF Systems, Microcontrollers, Programmable Logic Controllers, Motors and Controls, and Industrial Wiring. Other courses could be assigned based on the faculty member's background and preferences. These may include Fluid Power Systems, Mechanical Power Transmission, Instrumentation and Process Control, Industrial Controls and Automation, Electronics, Lean Manufacturing, Print Reading, and Safety. This position will be filled based on the department's needs at the time of hire. This faculty member will be teaching CTE courses and will need to either have a current CTE credential or ability to obtain one.
The Automation and Engineering Technology faculty member will provide quality instruction to students through well-prepared classes, relevant assignments, fair assessment of learning, and clear documentation of student progress. This position teaches a full load of 12 credit hours per semester and requires a team player, who can collaborate with colleagues throughout the college and initiate and deploy projects in cooperation with industry.
Additionally, FRCC faculty members serve as a mentor for the part-time instructors as well as a representative of the department by participating in committees, task forces, and events at the campus, college, and/or state levels. You may be asked to teach at different times, locations and modalities to meet the needs of the College. This position will be filled based on the department's needs at the time of hire.
This position does require a strong on-campus presence and may require occasional travel to all three FRCC campuses and partnering local organizations.
