Our students enroll as Rattlers or Seminoles and start their college experience on the home campus. Once prerequisites are complete, they learn, study and research together at our shared engineering building and graduate from their home university.
Undergraduate
Earn your Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in chemical, civil, computer, electrical, industrial, biomedical or mechanical engineering.
Graduate
Discover M.S. and Ph.D. programs in one of our five engineering departments. We also offer graduate certificate programs for current students, graduates and engineering professionals.
Research
Some of the world’s most advanced engineering research centers and a national laboratory are within walking distance of our classrooms. Our strategic areas are: Engineering Resilience • High-Performance Materials • Sustainable Energy Systems • Integrated Transportation Systems • Engineering Healthcare
FSU InSPIRE: The nation’s hub for aerodynamics and advanced manufacturing.
The Institute for Strategic Partnerships, Innovation, Research, and Education (FSU InSPIRE) will be a dynamic hub where applied research, development, and testing collide. It will serve as a catalyst for translating innovative ideas into practical solutions, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications. The joint college is proud to be the academic partner for InSPIRE.
Franchesca Bellevu
Franchesca Bellevu, an FSU alumna and current engineering doctoral student at the joint college and FAMU, aims to become one of the 3% of engineering faculty in the U.S. who are Black.
JP Romero
Undergraduate biomedical engineering student JP Romero was awarded an FSU IDEA grant to continue his research on using new 3-D chip technology to fight cardiovascular disease.
