The Opportunity

Southern New Hampshire University's School of Engineering, Technology and Aeronautics (SETA) is looking for Adjunct Instructors for our Computer Science program. This teaching opportunity will begin Spring, 2024 in-person on our Manchester, NH campus. You may participate in course development. On Campus courses will be offered during the day and afternoons on weekdays. You will report to the Associate Dean for SETA.

We are hiring for the following courses:

CS 110 Fundamentals of Programming

This course covers the fundamentals of programming using a modern programming language. Students will be introduced to basic programming concepts including data types, variables, decision statements, iterative statements, subprograms and parameter passing, and arrays. Students gain valuable problem-solving skills and experience by developing many simple computer applications.

CS114 - Intro to Software Engineering

The software life cycle is introduced, shifting emphasis away from programming as the primary activity of the software engineer and towards requirements analysis, specification, documentation, testing, verification, and validation. In the required laboratory, students will develop a software simulation of a game using graphics which is required to run successfully.

CS114 - Intro to Software Engineering Lab

CS238 - UNIX Programming (Campus)

This course covers UNIX/Linux commands and utilities including file manipulation, program execution and control. A brief introduction to Bourne and Korn shell programming is included. Proficiency in applying new skills is reinforced with extensive hands-on exercises.

CS407 Principles of Machine Learning

With the exponential growth of both available data and computing power, Machine Learning becomes increasingly important and essential knowledge. This course introduces the concept of Machine Learning, commonly used Machine Learning algorithms, and the available tools using Python libraries such as NumPy, SciPy (Scikit-learn), and Panda. Different types of learning algorithms including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning are discussed. Some common Machine Learning algorithms are examined in applications with example problems – training the data, finding a model, and making predictions. Practices are done in Python coding. Other topics covered are data visualization, training/testing data and making predictions from the model, model evaluation and parameter tuning.

You'll Get To:

Teach courses as scheduled

Participate in course content development

Access student work and provide feedback

Use Brightspace (the Learning Management System) to support the course

What we're Looking For:
