Design. Realize. Explore. Apply. Model.

The DREAM Hub houses a variety of resources to support students through learning and creating. In addition to free-to-use equipment and tools, the lab centralizes on peer support, problem solving, and creating a learning community. It is staffed with knowledgeable and personable Lab Assistants that guide students to the correct resources, technology, and learning tools.

The lab features free-to-use equipment and tools, including Prusa 3D Printers, software and capabilities for modeling and digital design, and manufacturing and analysis. The Hub also features electronic and circuit design resources, including soldering stations, Arduinos kits, Raspberry Pi kits, Function Generators, Oscilloscopes, breadboards and much more.

The DREAM Course in UB Learns features self-led modules to get started with using a varietyof tools that may be useful for technical projects. A new addition includes our Digital Badging Series to showcase your proficiency with these newly learned skills on digital platforms.

To get started with experiential learning and planning a visit to the lab, check out lab hours and activities on UB Learns.

The Design Studio is a dedicated space for SEAS clubs and student groups to pursue their technical projects and member engagement. The studio consists of a variety of tools, measurement devices and materials to support exploration via product teardown, ideation and modification. Soldering Irons, Reverse Engineering Kits, 3D printers, and electronics tools are available for students to use when visiting the space. Concepts can be implemented through the complementary DREAM spaces, such as the DREAM Hub in 118 Bonner.

To gain access to the Design Studio Lab, check out requirements and support activities on the DREAM course in UB Learns.

The SEAS Engineering Machine Shop is the largest and most comprehensive shop on UB's campus. It features a new CNC lathe, CNC milling machine, engine lathes, TIG welder, and 3D printer.

In general, the SEAS Engineering Machine Shop supports experimental research, student clubs and course requirements. Highly skilled staff provide technical support for faculty, staff and students.

The Machine Shop is a great place to get started with DREAM and the experiential learning program continuum. You will be using the Machine Shop throughout your time at UB, so there is no better time to get accustomed to it than right now..
