A Message from the Chair
The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University at Buffalo offers a range of excellent programs at the bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels. We welcome students from New York State and around the world to work on cutting-edge technologies and to receive first-rate training in fundamental and applied aspects of Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering. Our award-winning faculty and talented students make the Department a fine setting for you to become a practicing engineer, study advanced topics or become an independent researcher. Many subjects addressed by Mechanical and Aerospace engineers are of an interdisciplinary nature. Our department is linked to many such activities. Please look over our website to discover the many opportunities that are available in our department.
