Buffalo State College’s Engineering Technology Department hosted more than 100 members of the Buffalo Niagara Manufacturing Alliance and the WNY Workforce Training Center’s Advisory Committee on October 17. Attendees learned more about Buffalo State’s manufacturing, engineering, and technology programs while receiving student-guided tours of the Technology Building and the department's laboratories.

The WTC, located at 683 Northland Avenue, will co-locate two training facilities—an Advanced Manufacturing Training Center and a Utility of the Future and Clean Energy Training Center—that are expected to train 300 to 400 students yearly in manufacturing and energy jobs.

“This tour provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the strengths of our students, programs, and faculty," said Mohan Devgun, professor and chair of the Engineering Technology Department. "It's also a great opportunity for our students to interact with regional manufacturing industry executives. The department is very appreciative to the BNMA executive director, Mr. Peter Coleman, for reaching out to Buffalo State.”

The Engineering Technology Department offers three undergraduate degree programs—electrical engineering technology, mechanical engineering technology, and industrial technology—along with a master's in industrial technology.
