Where an engineering lecturer can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role an engineering lecturer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Engineering lecturers are subject professors, teachers, or lecturers who instruct students who have obtained an upper secondary education diploma in their own specialised field of study, engineering, which is predominantly academic in nature. They work with their university research assistants and university teaching assistants for the preparation of lectures and of exams, for leading laboratory practices, grading papers and exams and for leading review and feedback sessions for the students. They also conduct academic research in their field of engineering, publish their findings and liaise with other university colleagues.
Also known as engineering instructor, engineering sciences docent, lecturer in mechanical engineering, engineering sciences instructor, engineering sciences professor, engineering science teacher, professor of electrical engineering, engineering lector, engineering docent, engineering science instructor, professor of mechanical engineering, university engineering lecturer.
