UB Career Services

Engineering Career Institute Program and Engineering Co-op Program

Two optional programs are offered through the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences to assist engineering students in gaining real world experience. The Engineering Career Institute provides job search assistance and enhances your co-op student job performance by
providing classes in leadership, communication, teamwork, total quality management, and other pertinent subjects while the in co-op program.

The Engineering Co-op Program enables students to gain exposure to a real employment situation, applying technical and business skills in an industrial environment.

Analog VLSI Design

EE faculty are working in analog VLSI design, a small but growing field that draws principles from both analog and digital design to create systems that perform specific functions such as stereopsis processors and robot path planning circuits.>>
Research Spotlight

Electron-beam lithography

To demonstrate electron-beam lithography as a nanofabrication process, two EE undergraduate students produced a chromium UB emblem on a silicon substrate, with a minimum line-width of about 5 nanometers.>>

Solar Cells using Nanowires

A concept for solar cells for space-based electrical power under investigation by an EE researcher involves 5-10 micron thick microcrystalline Si films on flexible substrates topped with nanowires (shown here) that provide high optical absorption.>>
