The College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Cincinnati is growing, improving, and impacting the lives of people in Cincinnati, the region, and around the world.
As we pass the one-year mark of dean John Weidner's tenure, here is a snapshot of the college's many accomplishments and its trajectory.
MORE THAN EVER, THE VALUE OF A CEAS DEGREE is recognized by prospective students who need professional experience, a great education, and involvement in student groups, clubs and activities. The undergraduate enrollment of the college has grown significantly and continues to do so. Especially in uncertain times, the certainty of a CEAS degree drives our growth.

When you invent something, it just means more to you.
We invented cooperative education in 1906. For 114 years, we have been perfecting it – adjusting to world wars, economic depressions, and pandemics.
Our college is different in that co-op rotations - students working fulltime in jobs at NASA, P&G, and many more - are mandatory and follow a specific schedule. Students in each first-year class will co-op at the same times, returning to campus to share notes, apply their professional knowledge to the classroom and lab, and vice versa.
In a year marked by surprises and challenges, our co-op program has grown stronger, with new remote-work opportunities born out of necessity. Our graduates are hired because companies know they are already accustomed to rolling with the many changes of the professional world.
Alumni are different here too. Our alumni stay very connected to the college for many reasons, including our strong ties to industry and research.
There are 41,321 CEAS alumni living in 84 countries and all 50 states. Between speaking to classes, creating co-ops at their businesses, and recruiting prospective students.

The University of Cincinnati is helping Cincinnati address a disparity in energy efficiency in the city's multifamily rental market. Unlike homeowners, renters are at the mercy of landlords to make improvements that could save money on monthly energy bills. Uninsulated walls, drafty windows or old HVAC systems can result in uncomfortable living spaces and high utility bills, which can place a disproportionate financial burden on tenants.
