Electrical engineering education: AIEE in University of Cincinnati

THE CHAPTER for an AIEE Student Branch was presented to the University of Cincinnati on April 10, 1908. Counselor for the Branch, which is composed of approximately 100 students, is W. H. Middendorf. The academic school year 1956–57 marked the 50th anniversary of the co-operative plan of education in the United States. This plan was originated at the University of Cincinnati in 1906 by the late Dean Herman Schneider. The three units using the co-operative plan at the University are: the College of Engineering, College of Business Administration, and College of Applied Arts. The College of Engineering offers co-operative courses in aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, and metallurgical engineering.
