Job Detail: Instructor(s) - Mechatronics, Automation, Robotics & Control

IDMANN Institute provides training in professional development and technical entrepreneurship through our College of General Studies and the School of Experiential Learning, respectively. All our courses are offered online in live sessions with seasoned instructors. As the demand for our services has grown, we are looking to hire more instructors to introduce high school students and community college students to mechatronics, automation, robotics & control. This preparatory course in mechatronics, automation, robotics & control is intended to give students a firm footing in the development and deployment of control and automation systems. This course is structured to be a 6-month preparatory course with classes taught via our in-house online platform.

Instructors will be expected to guide students in developing a good understanding of the foundations of mechatronics and robotics, and to develop real-life applications that help them build their confidence and competence in the field. Given the youthful audience for the course, it is important that instructors have real-world experience that will engage and vivify the students as they begin their journey in automation and control.

Students will expect to receive practical guidance and homework assignments that help them understand the underlying theory and practice. In addition, the instructor will be expected to give students assignments and test their proficiency on an ongoing basis.

The ideal instructor will have most, if not all of the following:
