CINCINNATI -- The University of Cincinnati's engineering department and Foxconn announced a plan to team on technology research.

The world's largest EMS/ODM will collaborate with UC's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences on industrial internet and industrial artificial intelligence. The program is being coordinated under the auspices of Jay Lee, a professor at UC and an advisor to Foxconn.

"I think this is only the beginning. We'll explore many other opportunities by engaging UC strength and Foxconn strength together, and create not just research education, but also a great accelerated innovation program," UC College of Engineering & Applied Science professor Jay Lee said.

It's the second such announcement in the past week. Last week, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Foxconn announced a co-op program under which engineering students would study at Chung Yuan Christian University in Taipei and work at a Foxconn plant while there. That program will launch this fall.
