Duties & Responsibilities:

• Addresses student issues in a timely manner following College procedures and policies.

• Advising students, orientation, participation in University committees, keeping regular posted office hours (which are scheduled at times convenient for students) and participation in traditional functions which have academic significance.

• Appointed in the Department of Engineering at URI, Santo Ângelo campus, teaching and advising undergraduate and graduate engineering courses.

• Capability to supervise BSc/M.Sc./Ph.D. students in mechanical/industrial/management engineering.

• Delivering courses in both a classroom and an on-line format.

• Maintains ongoing communication with Student Affairs as it relates to course scheduling adjustments, academic advisement, and evaluation of transfer credits.

• Performing research in subjects including scientific writing, product development management, service development management, and project management.

• Preparing and delivering courses utilizing effective methods that ensure that all course outcomes are met.

• Seeking new partnerships in industry and stays abreast of industry trends in certifications, technology and programming.

• Strong experience of teaching and researching in product development process, especially design thinking and VR/AR, to a wide variety of student cohorts, from first year engineering students through to postgraduate.

• Student advising, internship coordination, recruiting students, developing industry relationships, developing curriculum, and serving on various committees within the university.

• Utilizing active teaching methodologies including Peer Instruction, Team-Based Learning, Project-Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning, Case Study, Maker-Centered Learning, and Games & Gamification.

• YouTube lectures. Since 2011 it became increasingly clear to me that a number of my students, as well as collaborators at other universities did not have the background in product development, lean six sigma concepts, and other tools which was needed for us to work most effectively. I therefore taught a series of lectures which I recorded and published on YouTube. The resulting videos continue to receive around 3000 views per month from around the world.

Skills:

• Ability to create, read, and interpret engineering drawings and design.

• Complete job functions on computers using online communications, spreadsheets, word processors, and other automated tools.

• Computer skills, including database management software, but not limited to: Solid modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE and CIM Softwares, and 3D printing/slice software. MS Project software, C#, Python, PowerBI.

• Self-starter, reliable, motivated in one’s work, with a demonstrated ability to work in a dynamic team environment.

• Strong organizational and interpersonal skills.

• Ability to work effectively with diverse populations including students, staff, and faculty.

• Understanding of electronics/mechanical concept development, electronics/mechanical design, rapid prototyping (e.g., 3D printers, laser cutters, etc.) and advanced manufacturing processes (CNC mill and lathe) that includes, but may not be limited to: wood, composites, metal, plastic and electronics.

• Well-developed conceptual, analytical and communications skills.
