The University of Cincinnati College of Engineering is the engineering college of the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is the birthplace of the cooperative education (co-op) program and still holds the largest public mandatory cooperative education program at a public university in the United States. Today, it has a student population of around 2,000 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students.
History
The creation of the College of Engineering first began with the appointment of a Professor of Civil Engineering in 1874 and the organization of a Department of Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Established as a college of the university in 1900, the College of Engineering's first dean was Harry Thomas Cory.
The first cooperative education (co-op) program
By 1906, Dean Herman Schneider established the the first cooperative education (co-op) program in the United States. The program was established to support Theory with Practice, the belief being that engineers who graduated with both classroom instruction and practical training would be better prepared and have a better foundation to be successful in the practice of engineering. The program continues today as the largest mandatory cooperative education program at a public university in the United States.
Architecture
The Department of Architecture once was part of the College, whose full name was the College of Engineering and Commerce School of Applied Arts. This department now exists as the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP).
Programs
Some of the current and past degree programs include Departments of Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Engineering Mechanics, Biomedical, Civil, Environmental, Computer Science, Materials, Metallurgical, Nuclear, Radiological, and Industrial Engineering.
