About
> About UB Engineering  The University at Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences -- or UB Engineering, to use our everyday name -- is the largest and most comprehensive public school of engineering in New York State.
Academics
We offer undergraduate and graduate degree programs in six departments:
Chemical and Biological Engineering
Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computer Science and Engineering Electrical Engineering Industrial and Systems Engineering Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Vital Statistics
UB Engineering was founded in 1946.
We currently have 147 faculty members.
Our enrollment (Fall 2010) is 2,563 undergraduates and 1,280 graduate students.
In 2009-10 we conferred 521 bachelor’s, 277 master’s, and 56 doctorate degrees.
We have 25,000 alumni living in all 50 states and 52 countries.
Research
Our annual research expenditures are currently about $50 million and our per faculty research expenditure puts us in the top 10 percent of U.S. engineering schools according to NSF collected data.
Our research portfolio includes exceptional accomplishment in such areas as:
‣earthquake damage mitigation
‣tissue engineering
‣photonics and biophotonics
‣machine learning and pattern recognition
‣nanostructures
‣biosensors
‣human factors in transportation safety
‣computer-aided visualization
‣information fusion
Our Partners
UB Engineering works with corporate partners in a variety of ways that range from joint research ventures, to continuing education, to co-op work arrangements for our students. We are active in the community, both with our colleagues in the profession and with school students who are the future of engineering. | 
Department researchers are pursuing engineering of tissue equivalents mimicking the native pancreas. Here a tissue section from mouse pancreas shows the insulin-producing cells fluorescing green against the rest of the pancreatic tissue (exocrine tissue) fluorescing red. 
Center for Unified Biometrics (CUBS) CUBS is focused on advancing the fundamental science of biometrics and providing key enabling technologies to build engineered systems. UB researchers are taking a unified view of biometric technologies by integrating software algorithms for accurate identification of various biometrics and data analysis (informatics) with hardware acquisition devices.
