Full-time instructor in Electronics Technology. The Electronics Technology program and department are housed in the Business and STEM Division. The instructor will be responsible for program coordination, student advisement, assessment of learning outcomes, participation in divisional and college activities, and all required duties as outlined in the Faculty Handbook. The typical teaching load is 15 lecture hours or 18 lecture/lab hours per semester, which will be comprised of both face-to-face instruction on campus and, once necessary training is completed, online modalities. In addition, the instructor will be responsible for attending regular office hours, meetings on campus, and participating in committees. Teaching assignments may be during day, evening, or weekend hours.  Classes are held on the NCCC’s main campus in Sanborn, NY.  

Lectures are typically three or four contact hours per week per course and labs are typically three contact hours per week per course.
