(Fee: $100) EGME-4810 3 hours Mechanical Engineering Senior Design I–Fa This is the senior capstone design project for mechanical engineers. Student teams work independently on a design project to find a solution consistent with stated specifications using principles studied in previous courses. Work in this semester includes writing the proposal and performing background research and preliminary design. Students conduct a mid-term design review and end-of-semester oral and written presentation. Projects are advised by a faculty committee; course includes weekly written progress reports and meetings with the faculty project advisor. Prerequisites: EGME-3850 Mechanical Design; EGME-3610 Kinematics and Design of Machines; EGME-3150 Heat Transfer; EGME-3020 Mechanical Engineering Lab II; and senior status. (Fee: $100) EGME-4820 3 hours Mechanical Engineering Senior Design II–Sp A continuation of EGME-4810, emphasizing detailed design, prototyping, troubleshooting, design modifications, project completion, reporting, and oral presentation. Students submit written progress reports and attend meetings each week with the faculty project advisor, conduct an oral presentation, and prepare the final report. Prerequisite: EGME-4810 Mechanical Engineering Senior Design I. (Fee: $100) EGME-4950 1–3 hours Advanced Topics in Mechanical Engineering–Sp Selected topics in mechanical engineering at the 4000-level that expand the depth of existing 3000- and 4000-level courses or expose the students to advanced concepts not taught in other courses. Topics may be proposed by the engineering faculty or students. Prerequisite: Instructor’s permission. English (ENG) ENG-0900 Composition Workshop–Fa, Sp 1 hour This course prepares students for university-level, academic writing by focusing on the rhetorical situation and exposing students to a wide variety of writing situations for which appropriate audiences, purposes, genres, stances, and mediums must be ascertained. The course aids students with various writing assignments by workshopping drafts in process for composition and other courses across the curriculum. While the rhetorical situation and writing process are emphasized, grammar will be a major focus as well. Corequisites: ENG-1400 Composition; or permission of instructor. ENG-0950 Foundations for College Writing–Fa, Sp 0 hours This course is designed to prepare students to succeed in ENG-1400 Composition. Successful completion of this course will satisfy the English proficiency requirements established in the Cedarville University catalog. ENG-1400 Composition–Fa, Sp 3 hours Designed to assist the student in developing the skills necessary to meet the demands of typical undergraduate writing situations. The course emphasizes critical reading, research, and argumentation, requiring students to apply the writing process, synthesize and document resources into academic discourse, incorporate common writing methods (description, analysis, exposition, and argumentation), and produce effective prose. (Fee: $25) ENG-2010 Style and Mechanics for Writers–Fa, Sp, Su 3 hours Students will learn to apply reliable principles to make writing clear, concise, coherent, and cohesive. (Crosslisted with PWID2010 Style and Mechanics for Writers) Prerequisite: ENG-1400 Composition. ENG-2020 2 hours Career Development for the English Major–Sp Course will orient students to the marketplace value of an English major. Topics will include skills and personality assessment, career exploration, and the development of a theology of vocation. (Fee: $20) ENG-2070 Fundamentals of English Grammar–Fa 3 hours This course is a foundational course for preservice language arts educators and is a prerequisite for Advanced Grammar. It covers forms and functions of words, pronoun/antecedent agreement, subject/verb agreement, and pedagogy. ENG-2120 3 hours History of Rhetorical Theory and Literary Criticism–Sp A study of the rich philosophic heritage of the West, this course is designed to familiarize students with the writers whose works have shaped rhetorical theory and led to the literary critical canon. We will examine three major questions: What are the functions of rhetoric and literature? What are the intersections between the two? How do we evaluate each? Featured writers will include Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Blair, Grimke, Cady Stanton, Burke, and Bakhtin. Prerequisite: ENG-1400 Composition. ENG-2230 Advanced Composition–Fa, Sp 3 hours An advanced treatment of the composing process, particularly related to the planning, drafting, revision, and final composition of essays. Writing workshops and peer evaluations are included. Prerequisite: ENG-1400 Composition. ENG-3060 History of the English Language–Fa 3 hours Historic treatment of the growth and change in the English language, including study of the development of variant conventions and of historic English Bible translations.
