About Rowan University, College of Engineering and The ECE Department

Located in southern New Jersey in the greater Philadelphia metro area, Rowan University is a comprehensive public institution, which has just celebrated its centennial in 2023. The university enrolls 23,000 undergraduate and graduate students in seventeen colleges and schools, including two independent medical schools.

A national leader in engineering education, the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering was founded in 1995 and quickly gained national recognition for its innovative, multidisciplinary, project-based approach to engineering education.  Since 2017, Rowan Engineering has doubled both its full-time faculty and student population and started Ph.D. programs.  We also opened Engineering Hall, the new home of the ECE Department, and completed a full renovation of our original home, Rowan Hall. These projects tripled our available space and provided the College with state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities.  The College currently enrolls approximately 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students in six departments and is home to four research centers, including the ECE’s rapidly growing Machine & Artificial Intelligence Virtual Reality Center (MAVRC).

 

Teaching Professors are 10-months full-time, non-tenure track teaching faculty. Successful candidates will teach a total of 24 credits over two semesters. Teaching Professors positions are renewable, with expectations for continuing renewal of three, and then five years per contract.
