Undergraduate Labs and Facilities

Two students sit in the front of a mustang in a driving simulator. The ring around them features a landscape of trees near a roadway.

Undergraduate students have the opportunity to witness firsthand, and in some cases, conduct research themselves.

UB CSEE students have access to several labs and research facilities throughout the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Multidisciplinary teams collaborate at UB, and students have an opportunity to experience labs in several engineering departments

CSEE Labs

Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory

The UB Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering’s geotechnical engineering lab (114 Ketter Hall) provides space for civil engineering students to experimentally measure the properties of soil, concrete and other engineering materials

Hydraulics Laboratory
6/29/26
The CSEE hydraulics engineering lab is located in a shared space in 120 Jarvis Hall. All CSEE students will participate in mulitple labs in this space, and this is one of the several spaces that is both a teaching and research lab.
CSEE Computing Labs
3/2/26
The CSEE computing lab space provides all of our students with an area to complete academic work. Each of the CSEE computer labs receive hardware updates once every three years, so we may equip our students with the most up-to-date PCs.
Environmental Engineering Laboratory
12/29/22
The CSEE hydraulics and environmental engineering lab is located in a shared space in 120 Jarvis Hall. All CSEE students will participate in at least one lab in this space, and this is one of the several spaces that is both a teaching and research lab.

SEAS Facilities and Buildings

Cleanroom
3/2/21
UB offers a multidisciplinary cleanroom with class 1000 space and class 100 working areas – a facility well-equipped for electronic device research, processing and development, materials characterization, microfabrication and other processes. Within these highly controlled environments, pollutants and airborne particles are minimized through extensive filtration systems.
Computing Facilities
3/31/21
Our buildings house a number of computer laboratories and classrooms, supported by Science and Engineering Node Services.
Design Studio
6/23/26
The Design Studio is an extension of the DREAM Lab and serves as a collaborative space for SEAS-affiliated student clubs and organizations to host meetings and related activities.
Digital Manufacturing Laboratory
3/2/21
The Digital Manufacturing Lab houses a variety of 3D printing/ additive manufacturing technologies, software and capabilities for modeling and digital design, and manufacturing and analysis. Home to high-definition 3D digital scanners, desk-top and professional grade printers, the lab provides capabilities for precision rapid prototyping, tooling and manufacturing of 3D objects and parts.
Engineering Machine Shop
3/2/21
The SEAS Engineering Machine Shop supports experimental research, student clubs and course requirements. This recently renovated facility features a new CNC lathe and CNC milling machine, three new engine lathes with digital readouts, a TIG welder, a 3D printer, and a modern conference room. Highly skilled staff provide technical support for faculty, staff and students.
Materials Characterization Laboratory
3/2/21
The Materials Characterization Lab offers equipment for liquid, powder, surface and bulk materials characterization, as well as expert analytical services for product quality assurance, failure analysis, and forensic evaluations.
Motion Simulation Lab
4/4/25
The motion-based driving simulator is a high-fidelity tool for training, education, and transportation and behavioral research. The 6-DOF motion platform, 360º degree visual display system and interactive driver controls create an authentic driving experience.
Stevens Center
3/2/21
The Stevens Center is a collaborative meeting space for undergraduates made possible by the generosity of Scott and Coleen Stevens and a UB President’s Circle grant. The space is accessible to all SEAS undergrads during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Afterhours and weekends, the space is accessible to juniors and seniors via UB swipe card.
Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory
3/2/21
The University at Buffalo's Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory provides research services for the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, MCEER, and R&D services for industry.
