The University of Cincinnati (UC) offers an Honors Program to the top 7% of undergraduate students in an engaging environment in which students are inspired to learn more, do more, and be more. Students are challenged through honors seminars and experiential learning projects, community engagement, research and novel applications of technologies, and creative arts. This paper will describe how University Honors Program is operated, the requirements, and the teaching experience of two faculty members in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS). The course was a study abroad course for all UC students.
