Additional Information

Department Information

Minnesota State University, Mankato's Iron Range Engineering (IRE) program offers an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering, with a new, progressive approach to engineering education that uses project-based learning (PBL) for upper division students. These students, who have typically finished their lower division coursework at a regional community college, earn their degrees by completing four semester-long team projects. The IRE curriculum integrates engineering design and the technical fundamentals of engineering with the development of their professional skills necessary to succeed as an engineer, such as teamwork, time management, oral and written communication, project management, professional responsibility and independent learning. Students can choose an engineering focus area by selecting elective credits in that area. Faculty support the technical learning of all students in her/his broad area of technical expertise as well as guide student teams as project team facilitators and mentors. The Bell Program will include face-to-face interactions with students in their first semester and online interaction with students completing the program. Faculty will interact with students in both the on-site IRE program and the Bell program and will collaborate with faculty across the department to support engineering student learning.

The program was developed using the knowledge and techniques supported by recent research on the development of technical and professional competencies expected of the engineer of the future. This position will include interaction with industry partners. Additional information on the department and program can be found at: http://cset.mnsu.edu/ie and http://ire.minnstate.edu.

The Department of Integrated Engineering is dedicated to building a culturally diverse faculty and staff committed to working in a multicultural and inclusive environment and strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and covered veterans.
