Alumni Co-op Stories
Megan Naber '22
Environmental Engineering, ACCEND M.S.
Cincinnati, Ohio
“My co-ops are the reason I was able to actually figure out what I wanted my career to be post-graduation. For my first two co-op rotations I worked for GE Aviation. I gained valuable insight on working for a larger company. For my third co-op rotation, I worked as a research intern locally for the Greenacres Foundation in Cincinnati doing agricultural and ecological research. For my last rotation, I worked for the Wendell lab at UC and assisted with a project with the Ohio Department of Transportation. I learned about the research process, and it made me realize I wanted to commit to a career in this field. Had it not been for these co-ops, I would not have realized what my true career goals are.”

Vladimir Miskovic '23
Mechanical Engineering
Novi Sad, Serbia
“I completed all five of my co-op rotations at Leoni wiring systems. I stayed with Leoni because they gave me a lot of different opportunities in different roles and travel opportunities. During my third rotation I moved to North Carolina, where I worked with Caterpillar as well. The two aspects of co-op that I found most valuable were the opportunities to work on real world problems and the connections I’ve made.”
Co-op Experiences
- Leoni Wiring Systems – Columbus, IN; Raleigh, NC; and Braga, Portugal
Rebecca Gilligan '23
Mechanical Engineering, ACCEND M.S. in Aerospace Engineering
Cincinnati, Ohio
“For three of my four co-ops, I was at UC’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Multi-Agent Systems Technology Research (UAV MASTER) Lab doing unmanned aerial vehicles research. I found with this co-op that I really enjoy research. It gave me a chance to be hands on, but to also direct what I was learning and what I was working on. Research co-ops are worth it because of all the experience you get. I’ve had the freedom and the opportunity to take projects from the start and advance them very far. I’ve learned systems engineering, flight testing, systems design, and much more. The research co-ops have set me up very well for my graduate program and beyond.”
Co-op Experiences

- UC Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Multi-Agent Systems Technology Research (UAV MASTER) Lab – Cincinnati, Ohio
Rickey Terrell '19
Chemical Engineering
Mason, Ohio
“I loved getting the opportunity to work on research projects for both of my co-op experiences. All of the work that I was completing was integral in producing a final product and it made me feel like I was a valued employee instead of just a co-op student. Both experiences also helped me become comfortable with failure in a scientific environment. Instead of seeing them as a negative, I learned how to view experimental failures as an opportunity to pursue a new idea.”

- University of Cincinnati – Cincinnati, OH (Fuel Cell Research)
Kareem Elgafy '19
Chemical Engineering, ACCEND MBA
Dayton, Ohio
“Co-oping at Marathon has been one of my best life choices. I am constantly challenged with intriguing problems and have gotten the opportunity to work on complex projects. The mentality of “we treat you like a full-timer” is the reason I continued to return to Marathon for more co-op terms. One of my favorite aspects about Marathon is that I’ve had the freedom to rotate between different locations and departments. In my most recent co-op I was able to work in the business side of engineering, which is something I see myself going into long term. I’m excited that co-op has helped me identify my dream job and dream company! #ProudlyMarathon”

Environmental Engineering
Massillon, Ohio
“My very first co-op I got to go to across the world to China. I only knew one phrase in Mandarin, "Ne how ma," which means, "Hello, how are you?" This experience taught me that language barriers exist, but they don’t have to stop me. During my time abroad, I realized that I want to work internationally when I graduate. Also, authentic Chinese food is fantastic!”

“UC is my home. It has opened doors, given me endless amounts of support from great people, and given me opportunities I never thought were possible. Through the co-op program, I have been given the chance to get hands on work in my field and learned important skills you can't get in the classroom. I have been in meetings I had no business being in just for the fact that my supervisors wanted me to learn and get experience. On top of that, I was encouraged to always ask questions and they would always make sure I understood what was going on in those meetings. I can't imagine trying to decide what I want to do with my degree or all the other important questions without the knowledge and experiences UC has given me."

“Starting a co-op can be an exciting and scary thing to do. But it is a must, whether you are ready or not. And that is where you grow as an individual, challenge yourself, and learn the most. Doing something not when you're ready, but when it's time. I was terrified to go to Japan to live for 8 months. But my flight was leaving, so I had no choice. And I couldn't be more pleased with everything that happened to me because of it."
