The program integrates energy systems research with research in energy control, efficiency improvement, demand side management, power quality and economics, renewable resources and integration, and smart grid communications.
"The modern, hands-on, industry relatable engineering curriculum at UB as well as the stellar faculty convinced me to make UB my home for my four years of college."
"I had the liberty to experiment taking different courses, learn from my mistakes, work on new projects outside my comfort zone, and use my time at UB as a platform to try and understand my interests and the my strengths to make an informed decision about my career choice."
“I studied in France during the spring semester of my junior year. The curriculum lines up with the regular courses offered by electrical engineering here at UB and are taught in English."
"The UB education has allowed me to explore the farthest reaches of our universe, put instruments and spacecraft on the surfaces of other planets, and to explore and understand our earth in new and better ways."
"The opportunity to get involved in cutting edge research activities in the department, the exhaustive list of courses offered, and the chance to learn from experienced professors who are pioneers in their field, is what makes UB Electrical Engineering special."
"The UB Electrical Engineering department definitely is unique for its faculty and staff. Every member is there to see each student succeed and learn, both during and after our academic careers."
"I will be forever grateful to the UB for the education I received. I would not be the engineer I am - nor be at this good place in my life - if it had not been for UB."
"The need for cleaner energy drew me into Electrical engineering, and I knew, as a small school in a big university UB would provide the perfect environment for me."
"Even though setting up your future can be stressful at times, it should ultimately be enjoyable. I've enjoyed my experiences at UB so far and would return to any of them knowing the outcome. I look forward to what I'll learn both in getting my MS and along my career. I hope to never stop learning."
"I learned how processes are really important while working on large projects in an organization and how they help to make complex decisions. Process is everything! "
"The Department offering of courses such as MIMO, IOT, Smart Antenna, Nano wireless networks makes the field of wireless communication stand out when compared to other universities. This was the reason I chose to pursue my graduate studies at UB."
"My internship was really important to my training. I learned how to cooperate with teammates to build a product and I loved the creativity of tech in San Francisco."
" I've worked on international projects in Microgrid, Power System Automation and Control. My job has given me the opportunity to meet with industry leaders from different countries and travel the globe."
" It was at UB and, in particular, the department of Electrical Engineering, that I learned how to be an academic, how to conduct research, and how to communicate my work."
"We are fortunate to be in a very international-focused school, as UB has one of the largest International Student bodies in the country. I get to meet people from every corner of the world, by getting involved in the activities here at UB."
"The Department's concern towards the well-being of its students is one of the most valuable aspects of UB Electrical Engineering. Couple that with a vibrant classroom of students from different parts of the world, distinguished professors working on advanced research projects, giving you a chance to take part, gradually teaching you core professional values, forms a winning combination."
"I chose Electrical Engineering because I wanted a better understanding of how modern technology works in order to be able to develop new technologies that will help shape society for a better future."
"As an EE Undergraduate Research Scholar, I got a lot of hands-on experience working in the cleanroom. I learned about the semiconductor fabrication process which helped develop my view on semiconductors and microelectronics as a whole."
“I always urge students to take advantage of a key asset that is available to them — the fact that UB is a top research university. Participation can help to build up their resume and they could discover career paths that they may never have considered.”
"The prime reason for choosing UB was the flexibility and the variety of coursework offered in the Department. This flexibility really helped me find my true interests. "
"I advise students to look out for every possible opportunity around them, be passionate about your interest and never give up trying. It is also important to never stop learning and be curious."
"Out of many great experiences, my favorite is the day when we exhibited our final IOT projects in front of professors, local business owners and many other professionals... Experiences where we present our work to the outside world are the greatest motivator of all."
"UB EE changed my life and has been a brilliant experience that taught me a lot of things. With perseverance, smarts and hard work, any student can achieve their goals by making the most of their time at UB Electrical Engineering."
National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship Winner Luke Zakrajsek started his research as an EE Undergraduate Research Scholar and decided to continue at UB in pursuit of graduate study.
"Electrical Engineering blends the beauty of theory with the practicality of an Engineering degree. We learn enough in our classes to get us started, and are given the tools necessary to pursue a greater understanding if we so desire."
"I firmly believe that i have been able to get a job in my dream company because of the UB coursework, faculty and some really interesting projects that I did during my masters."
"I did research and it helped me get accustomed to the way a team functions while pursuing research in a organization. Not just research itself, but interacting with my research colleagues at UB gave me a glimpse of culture and work environment in the US."
"Working at UB lab facilities literally day and night on that (IoT) project changed my life. When I reflect on the value that was instilled - that if we believe that we can change the world positively, then YES, we can!"
