UB’s New York State Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics will hold two events on Feb. 18 to showcase collaborative faculty and industry projects and to introduce UB’s new Department for Materials Design and Innovation.
UB faculty and graduates talk about the life and legacy of alumnus Gregory Jarvis, who was one of seven astronauts who died when the Challenger space shuttle exploded just over a minute after takeoff 30 years ago.
When Joe Pace was a child, he said his basement floor was a “sea” of Legos. Pace, a senior mechanical and aerospace engineering major, said his interest in building with Legos ultimately led to his love of engineering.
The three-decades-old hyperbaric chamber housed in Sherman Annex on UB’s South Campus is being upgraded, and the project will be handled by a Western New York company whose three generations of UB engineering graduates know the chamber inside and out.
