International Community School Campers Explore
Engineering, Computer Science at Cedarville
The Cedarville University School of Engineering and Computer Science joined with the
International Community School (ICS) in Bangkok, Thailand, to conduct an engineering
camp July 22–25.
ICS is an American college preparatory school with curriculum taught from a biblical
perspective. ICS offers Christian education for the international English-speaking
community in Bangkok and now educates approximately 850 students from more than
20 nations. Twenty-four students from
Thailand, China, Korea, and other
nations attended the camp.
The camp was divided into four
days of study and included instruction
in electrical, computer, and mechanical
engineering as well as computer science.
Along with lectures each day, students
participated in labs and experiments
related to the day’s field of study.
Dr. Sam SanGregory, Professor of
Electrical Engineering, and Dr. Tim
Norman, Professor of Mechanical
and Biomedical Engineering, planned
lessons and taught the sessions at the
camp. They came alongside Scott Hayden ’95, ICS Director of Curriculum and Instruction,
and Principal Stephen Ladas, to give students an opportunity to explore engineering and
computer science programs.
“Although we went into this camp with some concerns about how a U.S. style of education
program would be received in another culture, we were pleased with how well the camp
went,” said SanGregory. “We wanted to show these students that Cedarville has high-quality
engineering and computer science programs to motivate them to consider Cedarville when
it comes time for them to choose a college.”
There are plans to repeat this camp in the summer of 2016.
