Happy Homecoming Weekend Bulls🤘

We can't wait to see everyone at Engineers Alley tomorrow🤍💙🏈

#UBSEAS #UBuffalo
Two women, one in a cowboy hat and sunglasses, smile behind a blue table at an outdoor event. Adults (6 men, 3 women) smile at the camera under a blue 'ENGINEER'S ALLEY' banner. Most wear blue shirts, some with 'Buffalo Bulls' or 'UB' logos. Two smiling young men make the bulls hand gestures behind a blue UBASME table displaying engineering projects. Two smiling women stand behind a blue table inside a tent. Allison wears a blue "UNIVERSI BUFF" shirt. The table holds "SWE Society of Women Engineers" flyers.

#UBuffalo
Students staff an outdoor engineering exhibit beside a large tower model constructed from thin wooden members. The display table is positioned outside a glass-fronted campus building, where attendees stop to discuss the structural design and construction principles showcased by the project. Students gather around an engineering project display table while presenters demonstrate a robotic system and associated hardware components. A laptop showing a design or simulation program, electronic circuit boards, mechanical assemblies, and a QR code are arranged on the table as attendees ask questions and learn about the project in a classroom setting. Two people discuss a solar-powered vehicle prototype displayed at an outdoor engineering showcase. The vehicle features a steering wheel, solar panel array, and a sign identifying the project as “Solar Splash.” Additional exhibits, tents, and attendees are visible along the walkway outside a campus building.

18 students from 9 startups participated in SPIR this summer. Over 10 weeks, they tackled real-world challenges, aiding local companies in advancing technologies and ideas, many led by #UBuffalo alumni. Check out some photos from the wrap-up celebration and PowerUpTech program.
A presenter stands at the front of a classroom addressing an audience seated at tables. A large projection screen displays a presentation titled “Software Engineering Internship at Offerwell,” with detailed text, graphics, and internship outcomes. Attendees watch the presentation in a lecture-style setting. Attendees wearing conference badges sit and stand in a meeting room, applauding while several participants move through an aisle. Grid-pattern acoustic wall panels form the backdrop, and the scene captures an interactive moment during a conference or student research event. Five conference participants stand beside a podium delivering a group presentation. A large screen behind them displays a slide titled “One Shared Sheet. Falling Apart Under Everyone’s Hands.” The presenters wear conference badges and speak to an audience in a formal project presentation setting.

A smiling student in glasses, green top, and jeans leans forward, gripping a blue strap attached to a black wheeled sled with two 55 lb weights. She's demonstrating or operating the device while surrounded by other young adults watching in a busy indoor space. Students gather around a display board for the "Steel Bridge" project by University at Buffalo (2023-2024). The board shows bridge configurations & analysis. A tall, intricate wooden model, a brown hard hat, and metal rods are on a blue table. Two students view the display, others are in the background. Five young adults at an outdoor tech exhibition. A curly-haired man observes electronic components on a blue table. Other students wear shirts saying 'Making the world more productive,' '40 Years of Ozefest May 4, 2024,' and 'FIRST EAGLE ON THE MOON.' A banner discusses 'Space Situational Awareness.' A smiling professor in a blue blazer stands next to a student happily operating a racing simulator with a black "gtf1" seat. The student holds the steering wheel, looking forward.
