Plugging students into an electrical career

Niagara Frontier Publications reports that Alfred State College and UB have signed an agreement enabling Alfred State graduates to seamlessly continue their electrical engineering education at UB.

“I'm looking forward to the value this collaboration will bring to both programs,” says Kemper Lewis, dean of the UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. “For UB, it allows us access to well-qualified, well-prepared, and motivated MS students. For ASC, it’s an effective and efficient pathway for students who want to further their education and professional development in electrical engineering.”

Funding awarded by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Climate Jobs NY initiative is the catalyst for the partnership. The grant — managed by the UB Center for Industrial Effectiveness (TCIE) — enabled UB and ASC to work together in closing critical workforce gaps.
