Engineering Off To A Good Start Cedarville 's four-year engineering program leading to bachelor of science degrees in electrical and mechanical engineering began fall quarter. Designed according to ABET standards, Cedarville 's engineering program benefits from an advisory board of leading engineers, executives , and engineering educators. In keeping with current engineering education trends , Cedarville offers design proj– ects and CAD (computer assisted design) experiences at the freshman level. The young engineering program already has a close association with the SAE professional engineering society. Cedarville's student organization numbers 42, the largest in the Dayton area. This year, Cedarville students are involved in two SAE national student design competitions and participated in SAE 's national convention in Detroit in February. Cedarville president Dr. Paul Dixon says of the program, "It is producing engineers who come from a liberal arts background within a Christian context. For years, prospective employers have actively re– cruited our graduates because they recognize their strong work ethic and moral standards as well as their fine academic preparation. I project that our engineering graduates will have the same attraction."
