Louisville is the largest city in Kentucky, and the 27th largest city in the United States. Founded in 1778, it was one of the first cities built west of the Appalachian Mountains, and was a vital port for shipping along the Ohio River to the Gulf of Mexico.
Today, the city is home to over 600,000 people (more than 1.2 million in the metro area) and remains a hub for transportation—at the Port of Louisville, Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, and the intersection of three interstate highways (I-64, I-65, and I-71).
At the University of Louisville, we do more than learn. We create. We ignite. We push. We make impacts that make a difference. Here, we unleash students’ potential to fuel their success while elevating society through our research and innovation. We build connections with our city that lead to transformation across the globe. And we do it all together. Because once a Cardinal, forever a Cardinal. Forever connected to a dynamic community driving needed change. Forever committed to helping a better world take flight. Here and beyond.
“I completed my co-op with NASA, researching a drug delivery system to protect astronauts against radiation. Then, I landed a grant from the European Space Agency. A Speed School degree gets results!”
"I've come to appreciate how complicated the factory process is. And I've learned that the process of manufacturing any product is a hundred times more complicated than the product itself. That's really been humbling to learn."
"I've always just been trying to find a reason, or a way to help people. Specifically, I want to go into prosthetics because I had a cousin who ... has had prosthetics since he was young, and so that's always been a reason for me to go into that field."
"I discovered that industrial engineering was about systems, efficiencies, and just making things better. And I realized that's what I wanted to do—to improve systems. It definitely was the best choice that I could have made."
“My co-op rotations allowed me to gain experience in aspects of Engineering that no class or professor could ever truly prepare me for, including how to work successfully with others to create solutions that work."
