SUPERIORITY
SITUATED IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, less than 50 miles from
the home of the Wright Brothers and Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, the University of Cincinnati sits quietly on
a hilltop overlooking downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio
River. Home to headquarters of jet engine manufacturing
giant GE Aviation and countless other aerospace
firms, the region remains an oasis for aircraft design,
manufacturing, and testing.
The presence of these companies is not lost on the
students, who absorb their knowledge, expertise, and
economic influence. When tested in competitions against
universities from across the world, these students
stand tall, proving that they belong among the ranks
of engineering Goliaths. Simply put, the University of
Cincinnati Bearcats have found the recipe for success in
aerospace engineering.
For students at the University of Cincinnati, it all starts
in the classroom. The Aerospace Engineering program
8 November 2017
there has a strong faculty lineage, highlighted by one prominent
professor: Neil Armstrong. After retiring as an astronaut, the first man
to step foot on the moon taught at the University of Cincinnati for
eight years, enhancing its laboratories and revamping courses with
innovative and exciting materials. To this day, students get to experience
his legacy on campus and learn from a program he had an immense
hand in carrying into the 21st century. Today, Cincinnati boasts a highly
decorated staff of researchers and academics from around the world,
cementing its position as one of the leaders in aerospace engineering
education.
KING OF CO-OP
Traditional education is only part of the story, however. Students at
the University of Cincinnati have a unique requirement built into their
curriculum, a naturally distinct advantage when it comes to competing
for a career after college or even an aircraft design competition:
cooperative education ("co-op"). Every engineering student is required
