Nashua Community College is seeking qualified individuals who are interested in adjunct teaching at the College on a course-by-course basis; strong academic background is required. Adjunct appointments are temporary, for a specified contract period, and may require in classroom or online instruction as indicated.

We have a need for instructors for the following course(s) in our Mechanical Engineering and Design program:

CADN111-CAD1-Fall 2026

CADD I is the study of graphical communication. The drafting fundamentals studied in this course will include 3D Solid Modeling, blueprint reading, measurement, geometric construction, orthographic projection, section views, dimensioning, threads and fasteners. All work is performed using current CAD software (SolidWorks) on personal computers. This class runs Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30pm-8:20pm.

CADN112N- CAD II-Spring 2027

CADD II will continue the study of graphical communication exploring advanced 3D Solid Modeling, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, manufacturing methods, spring, and cam design. Students will learn all of the components necessary to design in a 3D environment including solids, surfaces, parts and assemblies, applying materials, and creating animated assemblies. Spring classes run from Jan 20th through May 9th . This class meets Tuesday/Thursday 6pm-9:20pm

CADN131-Technical Drawing-Spring 2027

This course covers the basics of drafting fundamentals including blueprint reading, measurement, geometric construction, orthographic projection, section views, auxiliary views, dimensioning and tolerancing, threads and fasteners. All work is performed using current CAD software (SolidWorks) on personal computers. This course is designed for the Precision Manufacturing student. Spring classes run from Jan 20th through May 9th. This class meets on Tuesdays from 6pm-9:30pm

ELMT204N- Fluid Power Design-Spring 2027

The dynamics of liquids and gases encountered in traditional manufacturing, industrial automation, and vehicular applications. Spring classes run from Jan 20th through May 9th. This class meets on Thursdays from 6pm-8:30pm.

MDTN110N- Automation Programming-Spring 2027

Students will learn the basic concept of programming a robot. Students will design, construct, and program robots and machinery for varied design applications. Robots will be both benchtop and IR controlled. Laboratory exercises complement classroom instruction. Spring classes run from Jan 20th through May 9th. This class meets on Mondays from 5:30pm-9:45pm.

MDTN285N- Mechanical Engineering Capstone-Spring 2027

Students work in teams under the direction of a faculty advisor to complete an engineering design project. Students will create a mockup of their design leading to the development of a prototype to test and verify the effectiveness of their design. Students will present their design and prototype to the Technologies Department Advisory Board for evaluation. Spring classes run from Jan 20th through May 9th. This class meets on Wednesday evenings from 6pm-9:30pm.

Minimum qualifications: The candidate will have an Associate's degree or Bachelor's degree in a related field and/or fifteen years' experience in mechanical engineering/design. The salary range for this position is $825-$975 per contact hour. The rate will be determined by the appointed adjunct faculty rank, which is based on education and industry and/or teaching experience.
