Our cleanroom training combines flexible online instruction with meaningful, hands-on lab experience.

Following their online coursework in 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀, UB students entered the University at Buffalo’s Davis Hall Cleanroom to practice essential processes and protocols using industry-relevant equipment in a controlled teaching environment.

The experience gave students individualized guidance, direct interaction with cleanroom technologies, and the opportunity to turn classroom concepts into practical skills.

It is a powerful example of how our programs prepare students through applied learning and access to advanced cleanroom capabilities.
