Engineers are the creators, thinkers, and innovators whose ideas and inspirations drive our global marketplace.
A degree at UK Paducah offers a great value to engineering students looking to save money and stay close to home while still earning a degree from a nationally-recognized state university. Our program offerings not only add to the range of opportunities for our local students but also meet the regional need for engineers in this highly industrialized part of the Commonwealth.
UK Paducah offers identical curriculum requirements, academic standards and admission criteria as the main UK campus in Lexington, but you don’t have to transfer or travel to get it!
UK Paducah’s Campus offers undergraduate programs in Chemical, Mechanical, and Computer Engineering. Graduate opportunities are also available.

The University of Kentucky Office of the Provost and numerous faculty and staff members marked the second year of the Institutional Multidisciplinary Paradigm to Accelerate Collaboration and Transformation (IMPACT) Awards initiative on Sept. 26 with a reception for award recipients.
In May, Y. Charles Lu, Ph.D., director of the UK Engineering Paducah Campus and H.E. Katterjohn Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, was named to the 2023 class of Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Fellows. Established in 1975, the Fellow grade membership recognizes and honors long-term members who have made a significant impact on society's mobility technology through leadership, research and innovation.
The story of the Paducah campus has always been one of community. As it builds toward the future, the forces behind its foundation take a look back on their ambitious journey to bring UK engineering to Western Kentucky.
