State The B.S.E.E. and B.S.M.E. programs have full approval by the Ohio Board of Regents. Registration Seniors and graduates are eligible to take the NCEES Funda– mentals of Engineering Examination. This exam is the first of two required to become a registered professional engineer and is offered each spring at Cedarville College. Engineering Advisory Board The Engineering Advisory Board consists of professional engineers, researchers, and business leaders representing a variety of engineering related businesses. Through annual meetings, these experts advise the College and evaluate its plans for building upon Cedarville's reputation for excellence in undergraduate engineering education.

Entering students are required to have an ACT composite score of at least 22 (or an SAT of at least 1010) in order to declare an engineering major. Students who do not meet this standard or do not demonstrate equivalent competency may request admission to the department on a provisional status. To prepare for engineering, high school students should take a college preparatory curriculum that includes: 4 units of English 4 units of mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced mathematics or precalculus) 4 units of science (physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics) 3 units of social science 2 units of a single foreign language Students should take electives in computers and learn a programming language such as BASIC, VisualBasic, PASCAL, C,orFORTRAN. RetentionRequirement Engineering majors must earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and a grade point average of 2.0 in their engi– neering and cognate courses by' the end of their sophomore year (prior to completing 109 quarter hours specified in the engineering curriculum) in order to advance into the junior year. GraduationRequirements 1. Earn a cumulative grade point average of2.0 or above in all engineering and cognate courses. 2. Take an assessment exam similar to the Fundamentals of EngineeringExamination. 3. Meet specific College graduation requirements.
