We are pleased to officially announce the opening of nominations for the 2019-2020 FAMU-FSU Dean's Engineering Fellows Program. The fellows program is designed to enhance the quality and the number of PhD students at the College of Engineering.
For the FSU-FAMU College of Engineering, research and multiculturalism are the most significant factors in the school’s rising national ranking.
According to Murray Gibson, dean of the shared college, they have increased their rankings by about 19 points in the last two years. He says it’s all due to their messaging and their research funding.
More than 60 students from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering participated in the 2019 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Southeast student conference. The event was hosted by the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. During the conference, engineering students from 29 schools had the opportunity to network and compete in numerous engineering challenges.
Every day, people move about, commuting to work, visiting friends, attending events and going about their business. Traffic gets heavy at times and then lightens up. All around town, electric power capacity is ready and waiting at houses and businesses for whatever needs arise—even when occupants won’t be around for hours on end. What if scientists could design a better way to ration energy resources that results in less congestion, fewer power outages and lower utility bills?
Florida State University students, employees and organizations gathered April 9 for the university’s annual Leadership Awards Night. The ceremony, sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs, honors the diverse collection of individuals and groups across campus who engage in leadership learning.
Every day, a question is heard in households across the country. "Honey, where are the car keys?" Or maybe, "Have you seen my glasses?" Or perhaps the treacherous, "OK, what did you do with the remote?" Yes, people lose things. Can anything be done about it?
That was just one of the problems pursued by Florida State University and Florida A&M University students during InnoVenture Weekend, a two-day team-building, innovation and business-pitch competition.
On Friday, February 23 at the Los Robles Women’s Club in Tallahassee, local professional members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Tallahassee branch celebrated engineers new and seasoned.
The 2018 Engineer's Week Banquet included celebrations of all kinds, but the some awards were particularly proud moments for the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering participants.
It is fairly well understood what can happen to the natural environment during major weather events. But what happens when man adds built structures to the mix?
Research shows building integrity begins to deteriorate after violent hurricanes and that nearby terrain plays a factor in the wind loads that affect the buildings. The effects of heterogeneous terrains – a combination of suburban buildings, trees, roads and the like – are less known than homogeneous (rural) terrains.
