Job Overview

The Department of Engineering and Computing Education
(DECE) in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at
the University of Cincinnati (UC) invites applications for multiple
tenure-track positions at all ranks. Candidates will be expected to
conduct research in Engineering or Computer Science (CS) Education.
The program is open to diverse research areas and approaches within
these fields, such as but not limited to workforce development
(i.e., engineering education research with an industry focus) or
P-12 education.

The Department of Engineering and Computing Education was
created in 2007 with the goals of delivering the highest quality
teaching and learning experience for the CEAS students, as well as
advancing the scholarship of teaching and learning through a
rigorous research enterprise. The department provides undergraduate
students with tutoring, mentoring, advising and other support
services, as well as valuable research opportunities. Graduate
students learn about conducting fundamental research on engineering
learning and bridging research and practice by defining effective
practices, identifying the reasons why they work, developing
curricula, assessing how students learn, and potentially moving
those findings into future engineering classrooms. Faculty in the
department teach fundamental courses in undergraduate engineering,
as well as graduate courses in the discipline of engineering
education. DECE is currently undertaking a significant
restructuring of its first-year engineering program through support
from the National Science Foundation. The University of Cincinnati
is the birthplace of the cooperative education (co-op) program and
CEAS holds the largest public mandatory cooperative education
program at a public university in the United States. The CEAS total
undergraduate and graduate enrollment is 7,000 students.
