For the seventh year in a row, @uofcincy has been ranked in the top 5 co-op programs in the country! We invented it, and we are still one of the best at it.
Incoming CEAS students! It is a REQUIREMENT that all students have their own laptop with certain minimum specifications based on your expected graduation year. Before purchasing a laptop, please scan the QR code or visit the #linkinbio to ensure you meet requirements.
College of Engineering and Applied Science alumni have made historical contributions to Cincinnati and beyond. Donald Wehmeyer, CEAS class of '61, served as the construction manager for the iconic Riverfront Stadium. The stadium was the backdrop of memories for his family and countless others.
After his passing, his family wanted to honor his legacy in a meaningful way. Reflecting on his time a the University of Cincinnati and how it was the foundation for his career, his family recently established the Donald E. Wehmeyer Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund to support current students and build a lasting endowment.
Nathan Nguyen fell in love with computer science because of its ability to let him create something from nothing. After learning of the University of Cincinnati's cooperative education (co-op) program, is sealed the deal on his college choice.
Now, five years later, he graduated from UC's College of Engineering and Applied Science with a bachelor's degree on the heels of five impressive co-op jobs, receiving the 2026 Herman Schneider Co-op Medal, and being part of the historic @uccubecats launch with NASA!
Earlier this year, we celebrated the 2026 cohort of graduates from the GE Aerospace Foundation's Next Engineers Program.
This program prepares students to pursue degrees in engineering. Since launching in 2021, the Next Engineers program has reached more than 30,000 students worldwide, many of which have been at UC.
Alex Apyan, CEAS ’12, turned his experience as a Bearcat student-athlete into a career helping shape the future of space exploration. As part of NASA’s Orion Program Mission Planning and Analysis team, Apyan helps prepare missions for the Artemis program — including the first crewed flight to the moon in more than 50 years.

An elementary school project left a lifelong impact on Evangelia Anna Passa. Inspired by the possibility to have an impact on the environment, she is now pursuing a PhD in environmental engineering, focusing her studies in water treatment technologies.
She was named Graduate Student Engineer of the Month by the College of Engineering and Applied Science for her work.

Each year, local middle and high school students come to UC's campus for the annual robotics competition. This year's theme: autonomous wheelchairs.
Student teams had to design a workplace that a person using a wheelchair has to get around and deliver items. Their robot, which they also designed, earns points for each delivery zone it is able to complete. 20 teams from nearly a dozen schools participated this year.
A family legacy 100 years in the making. This week, Eloise Brown will graduate from the University of Cincinnati with an engineering degree. Exactly 100 years ago, her great-grandfather did the same.
When she began the college search process, she didn't know that her great-grandfather was a Bearcat all those years ago. She found out after she made her decision, and it felt like a twist of fate.
Congratulations, Eloise! ❤️🐾 #BearcatsForLife
With graduation approaching, we want to highlight some of our graduating engineering students. Thavishka Gamage earned his bachelor's degree in computer science in 2025 and is set to graduate with his Master of Engineering degree in industrial and systems engineering this spring.
At UC, he was involved in various student organizations, holding leadership roles, and making connections across campus. He shared that his time at UC has made him a well-rounded person, and he looks forward to taking his experiences and skills to the next step: a PhD in industrial and systems engineering at Northeastern.
