The University at Buffalo

The University at Buffalo was founded in 1846 as a private medical college and merged with the State University of New York system in 1962. Today UB is New York State's premier public center for graduate and professional education, as well as the state's largest and most comprehensive public university. A member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, the University at Buffalo stands in the first rank among the nation's research-intensive public universities.

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) is a comprehensive engineering school offering bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees in all major fields of engineering: chemical and biological engineering, civil, structural, and environmental engineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and industrial and systems engineering.

SEAS was an early innovator in reforming the traditional preparation to beginning engineers. Valuing interdisciplinary research SEAS promotes connections across disciplines in its research centers, internship programs, and industrial partnerships.

Chemical and Biological Engineering - MS, MEng, PhD

The Chemical and Biological Engineering department seeks to expand the frontiers of knowledge in chemical engineering science, apply this knowledge to advance technologies in the field, and enrich both chemical engineering and other fields of science and technology through interdisciplinary interactions.

Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering - MS, MEng, MS/MBA,PhD

The Department of Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering offers concentrations in Computational Engineering Mechanics, Construction Engineering and Management, Environmental Engineering, Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, and Structural and Earthquake Engineering. Moreover, the Department jointly offers, with the School of Management, combined MS/MBA degrees, and with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.

Computer Science and Engineering - MS, PhD

The CSE department provides quality, cutting-edge educational experiences to computing majors at all levels. The Department aims to provide students with strong conceptual foundations (theoretical and experimental), and also expose them to the forefront of the developments in the field of computing.

Electrical Engineering - MS, MEng, PhD

Electrical Engineering is a highly interdisciplinary department. It builds upon a solid foundation of physical science, a broad knowledge of engineering techniques, and an understanding of how technologies can help us to shape the future. The primary mission of the department is to educate students at all levels. Graduate programs within the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) consist of three major areas of concentration

• Communications and Signal Processing
• Energy Systems
• Microelectronics, Photonics and Materials

Each student elects, according to a major area chosen, an initial EE faculty advisor at the time of entrance into the EE graduate program.

Industrial and Systems Engineering - MEng, MS, PhD

The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering conducts research and offers graduate concentrations in the broad areas of human factors, operations research, and production systems. We collaborate among ourselves across these three subdisciplines, with researchers in other engineering disciplines, and with researchers in such fields as medicine, the social and natural sciences, and architecture, among many others.

We take pride in being a student-oriented department that provides high-quality education for careers—both managerial and specialist—in industry and government and for positions on university faculties. Our record of placement in all three areas is excellent.

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering - MS, PhD

Our leading-edge research programs are focused in design and optimization; dynamics, control, and mechatronics; fluids and thermal science; materials and mechanics; and bioengineering. Our faculty participate in cutting edge research, funded by both government agencies and industry. More than 80 graduate students are funded every year through teaching, research, and graduate assistantships.
