It’s fall, and our engineering student organizations and interest groups are back in full swing. Here’s a (not comprehensive) list of the upcoming meetings. As always, all organizations are open to all engineering students regardless of university affiliation. Check the Student Organization page for websites and contact information.
The funds were awarded to the joint college through Florida A&M University.
With Samuel Graham, Ph.D., Nariman Farvardin Professor and Dean of Engineering at the University of Maryland
Graduate engineering students and faculty advisors are invited to a presentation given by William Jenks of ORNL’s Office of Research Education to learn about opportunities and mechanisms by which graduate students can come to the ORNL campus for extended periods to carry out dissertation-related research in areas of mutual interest to their major professor and ORNL scientists. These include both DOE-funded and ORNL/university-funded options. Both faculty and interested graduate students are encouraged to attend.
Undergraduate engineering students are invited to a presentation given by William Jenks of ORNL’s Office of Research Education to learn about ORNL’s many opportunities for summer internships and other student programs aimed at undergraduates and recent graduates. The session will give you an idea of different research areas and the keys to a successful application.
Applications for Summer 2025 will open in October. The presentation will give information on multiple Summer 2025 internship opportunities, including:
The center, led by Northwestern University, is dedicated to revolutionizing robots’ ability to amplify human labor. Carl Moore, an associate professor and robotics researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, leads the FAMU team at the joint college.
The 2024 International Symposium on Quantum Fluids and Solids took place July 24-30 in Jacksonville, Fla. The event brought scientists and engineers whose work explores the workings of materials characterized by quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that describes the behavior of particles at very small scales, such as atoms, molecules and subatomic particles.
New research from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering could help surgeons better prepare for their crucial work. The Google-endowed dean of the college, Suvranu De, led the development of an AI-powered tool that trains surgeons by analyzing video of their surgical technique and providing feedback.
