Position Summary
Great BayCommunity College seeks a qualified instructor to teach three non-
credit courses: CBAM110M: Industrial Print Reading; NCBM111 Metrology
Fundamentals; NCBM 112 Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T)
Fundamentals. These hands-on courses introduce students to mechanical
measurement techniques and engineering blueprint reading. The instructor will
guide students through interpreting mechanical drawings including
tolerances, welding symbology, and Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
(GD&T) and performing precise measurements using a range of industry-
standard instruments, preparing them for quality, inspection, and
manufacturing roles.
Scope of Work
The instructor will be responsible for:
Delivering instruction across all course topics, including:
Engineering drawing standards, visualization, line usage, drawing layout, and notes
Orthographic projection and multi-view drawings
Reading and interpreting dimensions, tolerances, and drawing annotations per ASME Y14.5
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) reading and application
Reading assembly drawings and parts lists
Welding processes and interpreting welding representations/symbols
Reading and interpreting thread specifications and annotations
Leading hands-on lab instruction in the use of measurement tools and
gaging methods, including:
Calipers (6"), scales, tape measures, protractors, and micrometers (including depth micrometers)
Height gages, surface and angle plates
Various dial and other indicators
Thread gages
Attribute gaging (Go/NoGo) and sized gages such as blocks and pins
Planning and facilitating a blend of in-class/online lecture, discussion,
and lab activities (2 theory hours + 3 lab hours weekly)
Designing collaborative and individual projects, in-class activities, and
real-world inspection scenarios
Teaching students to compare blueprint dimensions/tolerances against
physical part measurements to verify compliance with design specifications
Instructing students on defining appropriate inspection methods for a
given mechanical component and drawing
Guiding students in preparing clear, accurate inspection reports
documenting measurement results and interpretations
Incorporating relevant technology, including word processing,
spreadsheets, presentation platforms, and CAD software where applicable
Developing and administering reading activities with quizzes, lab reports,
and (optionally) practical exams
Providing timely, constructive feedback on student work and inspection
reports
Evaluating student progress against the 7 stated course objectives
(drawing interpretation, GD&T, dimensioning, measurement/inspection
compliance, tool proficiency, reporting, inspection method selection)
Maintaining course records, grades, and attendance in accordance with
college policy
Ensuring proper safety and handling procedures for precision measurement
tools and lab equipment
Minimum Qualifications
Associate's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Technology,
Quality Assurance, Drafting/Engineering Design, or a closely related field
(Bachelor's degree preferred)
Demonstrated experience reading and interpreting engineering blueprints,
including tolerances, GD&T, and welding symbols, per ASME Y14.5 standards
Hands-on professional experience using precision measurement instruments
(calipers, micrometers, height gauges, dial indicators, gaging
equipment) in a manufacturing, quality control, or inspection setting
Working knowledge of orthographic projection, multi-view drawings, and
dimensioning practices
Experience conducting or overseeing part inspection against engineering
specifications
Ability to teach both foundational and applied metrology and print-reading
concepts to students with little to no prior experience
Strong communication and hands-on lab facilitation skills
Prior teaching, training, or mentoring experience preferred (college-
level instruction a plus)
ASME GD&T certification (e.g., GDTP) preferred but not required
Familiarity with CAD software and quality documentation practices
(inspection reports, SPC) is a plus
Application Process
Submit an application online including:
Cover letter describing relevant SolidWorks/CAD and teaching or training experience
Current resume or CV
Contact information for two to three professional references
Optional: portfolio or samples of CAD/design work (models, drawings, or projects)
