Buffalo State College: Engineering Training for the Future

Buffalo State University, a US university founded in 1871 in the state of New York, has

established a nationwide reputation for offering practical engineering courses of the highest

standard. Small class sizes and direct contact with the teaching staff are just two of the benefits of studying here. The university offers its 12,000 or so students more than just clearly laid-out campus structures: it also provides an academic home in which they can fully realise their potential.

This extends to modern infrastructure and equipment.

To this end, a new building has been planned to house the entire Technology Department with its electrical and mechanical engineering students. A modern exterior has to go hand in hand with state-of-the-art technical equipment. Ilya Grinberg, Professor at the Technology Department, therefore visited the headquarters of Lucas-Nülle in Kerpen to find out more about the company’s latest training systems.

LN Practice:

What do you attach particular importance to in

engineering training?

Ilya Grinberg: I want our students to acquire the kind of skills that I believe are vital for engineers. They should be self-confident, fascinated by technology and able to think on their feet.
