Inspire, Summer 1992

Brandon Kaercher, math and electrical engineering major, has led the Engineering Department's Aero Design team for the past two years. Cedarville's engineering students took seventh place out of 61 entries in the SAE Aero Design Competition held in Daytona Beach, Florida in May. Our students designed and built a plane that was able to lift a payload weighing over 14 pounds! They competed well against engineers from numerous prestigious schools. The John Templeton Foundation named Cedarville College to two honor rolls for 1992. The Honor Roll for Character Building Colleges recognizes colleges and universities which "encourage the development of strong moral character among students." The Honor Roll for Free Enterprise Teaching identifies schools that have an institutional commitment to traditional Western political and economic philosophies." The Foundation compiles both honor rolls by surveying officers of higher education institutions across the country. The Templeton Foundation honors approximately 100 U.S. colleges and universities each year. Cedarville was one of two selected from Ohio.
