Guiding Strategies
The programs in the department of engineering at Cedarville University blend the academic subjects required of all accredited engineering and computer science programs with "hands-on" experience through extensive laboratory work and design projects.
Our objective is to produce technical professionals ready for the work place. The integration of course-work, team involvement, professional association, and industrial collaboration makes graduates employable for a variety of industry positions and prepared for graduate school, either immediately or in the future.
The Elmer W. Engstrom Department of Engineering and Computer Science houses some of Cedarville's most successful professional programs. Majors in:
- computer science (B.S.)
- computer engineering (B.S.Cp.E.)
- electrical engineering (B.S.E.E.)
- mechanical engineering (B.S.M.E.)
The innovative curricula take advantage of up-to-date facilities, experienced faculty, and vast scientific and engineering resources. All programs are professionally accredited by ABET, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
Our programs enjoy the rich technical environment fostered in the surrounding community and the frequent opportunities to interact with professionals working on the latest aerospace, automotive, and electronics technology. The department provides students opportunities to participate in national and international design competitions organized by professional societies such as ACM, ASME, IEEE, SAE, and SWE, which allow them to have fun while developing their skills.
Every student will have the advantage of using Cedarville University's aggressive Career Services Office to help them open the doors to businesses across the country. Because of their strong background in science, mathematics, and technology, engineering and computing professionals often rise to leadership positions in organizations, managing programs in research, development, design, construction, production, operations, marketing, and sales.
All Cedarville students take communications, natural and social sciences, humanities, and a Bible minor along with their major course of study. Success in national competitions has already demonstrated the value of this approach. The "broadening courses" other engineering schools struggle to add on are the foundation on which we build.
