Mechanical Engineering Professor for Remote Contract Teaching and Assessment

What You'll Do6

• Design rigorous single‑answer exam questions aligned with graduate‑level complexity in your specialty.
• Convert advanced topics from Solid & Structural Mechanics, Dynamics & Vibration & Control, or Thermal‑Fluids into high‑quality test content.
• Draft clear explanations and rationales for each answer option to support learning and assessment accuracy.
• Review AI‑generated mechanical engineering materials for technical precision and instructional value.
• Collaborate asynchronously with subject matter experts and project coordinators to refine materials and ensure alignment with project standards.
• Perform quality checks, revise content based on feedback, and maintain meticulous submission records using digital tools.

Requirements6

• PhD or MS in Mechanical Engineering with teaching experience at university level in one or more core areas (Solid & Structural Mechanics, Dynamics & Vibration & Control, Thermal‑Fluids).
• Experience authoring, grading, or reviewing graduate‑level exams, problem sets, or coursework.
• Ability to translate complex mechanical engineering concepts into clear, exam‑ready written content.
• Background in assessment design, rubric development, or creating educational content.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with meticulous attention to technical detail.
• Self‑motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently in a remote, asynchronous environment; familiarity with collaborative digital platforms is a plus.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate is an experienced university instructor or adjunct with hands‑on teaching in core ME topics and a track record of designing or evaluating graduate‑level assessments. This role may not fit someone lacking formal teaching experience or not comfortable producing exam‑centric material for graduate programs. Common reasons for a lower fit include limited experience in assessment design or difficulty translating advanced topics into concise, exam‑ready text, and a preference for synchronous collaboration over asynchronous work.
