Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Program Highlights

Real-world experience — Through design competitions sponsored by organizations like Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers and internships at places like Cummins, you will gain valuable real-world experience as you pursue your engineering degree.

State-of-the-art equipment — You’ll experience and learn from the latest technology, including a surface-mount soldering station for circuit board fabrication. High-speed processors allow students to interface state-of-the-art electronic equipment with Cedarville's award-winning computer network.

Accreditation — Our B.S.E.E. program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. This is the same professional accreditation you will find at Big 10 and large research universities. (View our Student Outcomes, which meet ABET accreditation standards.)

Caring, credentialed faculty — At Cedarville you will be taught by Christian professors with doctoral degrees who care not just about your professional success, but also your spiritual and character development.

Opportunities to Learn Outside the Classroom

As you’re pursuing an electrical engineering degree at Cedarville, your coursework will be complemented by cocurricular opportunities.

Co-op program — When participating in the co-op program, you will begin earning a salary while still in college, gain professional experience, make great networking connections, and more. View our co-op handbook.

Internships — Our students have found that there’s no substitute for real-world experience. Our graduates have completed internships at Cummins, Crane Co. Engineering Corporation, ECR Engines, Honda, among others.

Competitions — Cedarville engineering students participate in many design competitions sponsored by national and international organizations such as SAE International, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Ohio Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Check out our teams and compare their results to those of your favorite school — you'll be impressed!

• ASEE Robotics
• IEEE/PELS Solar Splash Competition
• SAE Aero Design
