The University of Cincinnati College of Engineering and Applied Science established the Undergraduate Research Fellowship Co-op Program to expand opportunities for students to engage in meaningful research in labs. Most students spend five semesters working in industry through the cooperative education (co-op) program, but students can also choose research positions in corporate, university, or government labs. Many students opt for a research co-op if they are considering a career in research or plan to attend graduate or medical school.
