JOB SUMMARY:
About ESP:
The Engineering Summer Program (ESP) is a free, non-transcripted three-week residential program for students who will be high school juniors or seniors in the upcoming school year. The mission of ESP is to broaden participation in engineering by specifically targeting students who are historically underrepresented in engineering (racial/ethnic minority, low-income and first-generation students and women). The ESP course curriculum includes math, physics, chemistry, and introduction to engineering design. Other structured programming includes industry site visits, field trips, guest lectures, workshops, and faculty mentoring to help students gain a broad understanding of the field of engineering and its applications. Classes and workshops are taught by UW-Madison professors, instructors, and graduate students.

Job Description:
The Engineering Summer Program is seeking a summer instructor responsible for planning and teaching the physics course as part of our three-week residential summer program.
