ALT A person with long black hair, wearing a white ruffled blouse and a blue blazer, smiles gently at the camera. In the softly blurred background, an outdoor electrical substation and utility poles stand under a clear blue sky.

ALT A vast and towering landscape-sized mound of mixed garbage and debris, predominantly plastics, fills the lower two-thirds of the image. The enormous pile of refuse sits under a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds, illustrating significant waste accumulation.

ALT Two women, one in a cowboy hat and sunglasses, smile behind a blue table at an outdoor event.

ALT Four smiling young men stand behind a table at an outdoor event. They hold a blue banner that reads \"GO BULLS\".

ALT Adults (6 men, 3 women) smile at the camera under a blue 'ENGINEER'S ALLEY' banner. Most wear blue shirts, some with 'Buffalo Bulls' or 'UB' logos.

ALT Two smiling young men make the bulls hand gestures behind a blue UBASME table displaying engineering projects.

ALT Modern university building, Davis Hall, features a striking glass facade reflecting warm golden light, alongside reddish-brown and grey paneling. A paved walkway leads to the entrance, with landscaping and outdoor seating areas.

ALT Two students demonstrate an electronics project in a classroom or lab setting. One student holds a small prototype device connected with colorful wires while explaining the project to others gathered around a table. Electronic components and testing equipment are visible, highlighting a hands-on engineering design activity.

ALT Close-up of a student assembling and testing an electronics project on a breadboard connected to an Arduino microcontroller. Numerous colored wires link sensors, a keypad, and other components as the student adjusts the circuitry during a programming or prototyping exercise.

ALT Overhead view of a crowded engineering showcase held in a large indoor atrium. Attendees visit project tables staffed by students demonstrating technology, engineering, and computing projects. Banners for the University at Buffalo School of Management hang above the event space while visitors move between exhibits and presentations.

ALT Construction site with a partially built steel building framework under a blue sky with white clouds. A tall crane is visible, and blue barriers delineate the site.

ALT Steel framework of a building under construction, surrounded by concrete barriers and blue fencing displaying 'Always achieving. Always innovating.' A large construction crane rises on the right. Blue sky with white clouds above a paved road in the foreground.

ALT A construction site with a steel-framed building under a cloudy sky. A large crane stands next to it. A blue fence in the foreground reads \"Focused on the future. Building it now. University at Buffalo.\" Concrete barriers, a blue fire hydrant, and road markings are visible.

ALT Steel skeleton of a new building under construction against a bright blue sky with white clouds. A large crane is visible in the background. In the foreground, a concrete barrier and a blue construction fence display text: \"Focused on the future. Building it now. University at Buffalo\"

ALT Students staff an outdoor engineering exhibit beside a large tower model constructed from thin wooden members. The display table is positioned outside a glass-fronted campus building, where attendees stop to discuss the structural design and construction principles showcased by the project.

ALT Students gather around an engineering project display table while presenters demonstrate a robotic system and associated hardware components. A laptop showing a design or simulation program, electronic circuit boards, mechanical assemblies, and a QR code are arranged on the table as attendees ask questions and learn about the project in a classroom setting.

ALT Two people discuss a solar-powered vehicle prototype displayed at an outdoor engineering showcase. The vehicle features a steering wheel, solar panel array, and a sign identifying the project as \u201CSolar Splash.\u201D Additional exhibits, tents, and attendees are visible along the walkway outside a campus building.

ALT A student on a blue bicycle faces a large screen displaying a virtual city street with a \"STOP\" sign. A faculty member, wearing a blazer with a \"Austin\" tag, points at the screen while explaining. A staff member observes beside the cyclist.

ALT A student named Wenlong gestures with open hands while presenting a black model car on a winding track with miniature traffic lights to a diverse group of people. Attendees, including Alex and Dale, watch attentively. Another model car sits on a table in the background.

ALT A guest and a beard watches a large curved screen projecting a road scene with white and red cars. To his right, the front of an elevated blue car with a bright headlight is prominent. The scene suggests a car simulation exhibit.
