## Caption

University of Cincinnati mechanical engineering student Sam Grove turned his passion for cars into hands-on experience with Mercedes-Benz USA and American Honda Motor Company, Inc. through UC’s nationally recognized co-op program.

Grove, a fifth-year student in the University of Cincinnati - College of Engineering and Applied Science, used cooperative education, or co-op, to gain full-time professional experience in the automotive industry while continuing to make progress toward his degree.

UC pioneered the co-op model more than a century ago, combining classroom instruction with full-time employment in a student’s chosen field. Today, UC co-op students work with partners across industry, government, nonprofit organizations and the university, building career-ready experience before graduation.

For Grove, that meant contributing to real automotive projects and feeling like “a member of the team, not like an intern.”
