1991-1992 Academic Catalog

108 Engineering The CAD (computer aided design) laboratory.featuring the latest in CAD equipment, helps provide the technological support engineering students need to develop design skills. Purpose The Cedarville engineering program blends the academic subjects re– quired of all nationally-acclaimed engineering schools with the practical hands-on experience necessary to become a productive engineer. The cur– riculum, consistent with some of the latest engineering education concepts, introduces freshman to real-world design projects. This approach provides students early insight into subsequent theory and practical exercises. The program takes advantage of the rich technical environment in the surround– ing community by providing frequent opportunities for interaction with engineers working on the latest aerospace, automotive and electronics tech– nology. Involvement in the Student Engineering Club and on teams partici– pating in national student competitions is strongly encouraged. Personal Requirements Students who enjoy and excel in science and mathematics courses have the highest potential for careers as engineers. Therefore, to prepare for engineering, students should take a college preparatory curriculum which includes: 4 units ofEnglish 4 units ofmathematics (algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) 4 units of science (physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics) 3 units of social science 2 units of a single foreign language Electives in computers may also be helpful. Programs of Study The Department of Engineering offers two majors which lead to the bachelor of science in engineering (B.S.E.) degree (pending approval by the Ohio Board ofRegents): Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering
