compliance with CCSNH policies and state regulations, eligibility for
employment within CCSNH and its institutions requires residency within a New
England state.
Position Summary
Great Bay Community College seeks a qualified instructor to teach three non-
credit courses: NCBM 105-Part Design in Solidworks; NCBM 106-Assemblies in
Solidworks; NCBM107-Design Communication in Solidworks that provide a
comprehensive introduction to SolidWorks CAD software for engineering, product
design, and manufacturing applications. The instructor will guide students
through 3D modeling, part design, assembly creation, technical drawing, and
design-for-manufacturing principles, preparing them for careers in automated
manufacturing, engineering design, and related fields.
Scope of Work
The instructor will be responsible for:
Delivering instruction across all course topics, including:
SolidWorks interface, tools, and workflows
Sketching fundamentals (lines, circles, arcs, splines) and applying constraints/dimensions
3D part modeling (extrusion, revolution, lofting, adding/subtracting material)
Advanced part modeling and design intent in parametric modeling
Assembly modeling, component relationships, and mates
2D technical drawing generation with correct views, dimensions, and annotations
Exploded views and assembly instructions for manufacturing
Introductory rendering, animation, and motion analysis
Basic tolerances and fits in mechanical design
Use of SolidWorks design libraries and templates
File export for 3D printing, CNC machining, and other manufacturing processes
Planning and leading a blend of lecture/discussion and hands-on lab
activities (2 theory hours + 3 lab hours weekly)
Designing and facilitating project-based assignments and design review
sessions
Developing and administering reading activities with quizzes, lab reports,
and (optionally) practical exams
Providing timely, constructive feedback on student design work
Evaluating student progress against the 15 stated course objectives
(e.g., sketching mastery, assembly creation, design intent,
tolerances/fits, file export for manufacturing)
Maintaining course records, grades, and attendance in accordance with
college policy
Ensuring lab safety procedures are followed, particularly where 3D
printers or shop equipment are used
Minimum Qualifications
Associate's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Technology,
Engineering Design, Drafting, or a closely related field (Bachelor's
degree preferred)
Demonstrated proficiency in SolidWorks, including part modeling, assembly
design, and 2D drawing creation
Professional experience applying CAD/SolidWorks in an engineering,
manufacturing, product design, or drafting setting
Working knowledge of 3D printing technologies and design-for-additive-
manufacturing principles
Ability to teach both foundational and intermediate CAD concepts to
students with little to no prior experience
Strong communication and classroom/lab facilitation skills
Prior teaching, training, or mentoring experience preferred (college-
level instruction a plus)
SolidWorks certification (e.g., CSWA, CSWP) preferred but not required
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)
