Engineering and Architectural Design Teacher

Engineering & Architectural Design Instructor

Sanford Regional Technical Center (SRTC)  • Sanford, Maine

CIP 15.1303

At Sanford Regional Technical Center, we don't just teach skills�we launch careers.  As our Engineering & Architectural Design Instructor, you'll lead a two-year, hands-on program where students master the same tools and technologies used by working engineers and designers right here in Southern Maine.  From 3D printing and computer-aided design to virtual reality modeling and additive manufacturing, your students won't just study industry�they'll practice it, day one.

What You'll Do

Year One:  Build the Foundation

You'll immerse first-year students in transformative, project-based learning inside our state-of-the-art facility.  They'll master 2D and 3D computer design using professional-grade software, develop real blueprints, operate 3D printers, and build a working command of core engineering and architectural principles.  You'll forge partnerships with local firms, studios, and manufacturers�bringing the outside world into your classroom and sending your students into it.

Year Two:  Raise the Bar

Second-year students tackle advanced design challenges alongside industry professionals and earn internationally recognized certifications�SolidWorks Professional, Revit Architecture, and Additive Manufacturing.  Under your guidance, they'll develop sophisticated technical skills, manage complex projects from concept to completion, and graduate with a portfolio, a certification, and the confidence to compete.

Every Day:  Inspire

You'll create a safe, energizing learning environment where curiosity is rewarded and ambition is expected.  You'll collaborate across SRTC's 25 programs to unlock interdisciplinary opportunities and bring real-world projects into your classroom.  When your students graduate, they'll be ready to join established firms, launch their own businesses, or pursue advanced education�on their terms.
