Strengthening Coastal Infrastructure Against Hurricanes

The devastation caused by Hurricane Ian in 2022 serves as a sobering reminder of the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure, particularly in Florida.

Among the hardest-hit structures were bridges, which are crucial lifelines during and after such disasters. However, researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are pioneering new ways to improve the resiliency of these critical structures.

College Part of International Health Equivalence and STEM Research Summit in Panama to Foster Global Collaborations

Florida State University’s Center of Population Sciences for Health Equivalence (CPSHE) recently hosted the International Health Equivalence and STEM Research Summit in the Republic of Panama to foster collaborations between researchers, educators and policymakers in Panama and the U.S.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering participated in the event to reinforce the engineering pipeline that prepares FSU Panama transfer students for upper-level coursework at the joint college stateside.

Florida DOT Grant Will Fund Research on Fiber Optic Monitoring for Structural Foundations

A new study by the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering’s Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering will probe the hidden stresses lurking beneath Florida’s building and bridge foundations.

Thousands of structures throughout Florida are supported on columns bored into soil and limestone formations.
