Revised and Final DRAFT Mission, Vision & Value Statements
Our Strategic Planning Committee co-chairs recently released this revised and final draft of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering’s proposed Mission, Vision & Value Statements, as of 3/24/23. We still need your thoughts and opinions, please email us and let us know what you think:
Vision (3/24/23)
The FAMU‐FSU College of Engineering will be an academic leader in engineering by focusing on inclusive excellence in research, education and service.
Mission (3/24/23)
As the only joint college of engineering in the nation that sits at the nexus of two exceptional public universities, the mission of the Florida A&M University‐Florida State University College of Engineering is to define a new standard of excellence that is built on a solid foundation of diversity and inclusiveness. The FAMU‐FSU College of Engineering will: (1) provide innovative undergraduate and graduate academic programs of the highest caliber; (2) be a leader in graduating minority and women engineers; and (3) attain national and international recognition through ground‐breaking research achievements and the service of its faculty and students.
Values (3/24/23)
Innovation, Collaboration, Excellence, Creativity, Inclusion

Subcommittees in Full Swing (2/6/23)
We are excited to announce that the College’s Strategic Planning exercise is in full swing and there are still several opportunities for you to join the process as we map out the College’s goals and objectives for the next five years. Currently, we are completing a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities) analysis for each of our strategic priorities: Student Success, One College, Operational Support, Visibility and Research and Graduate Studies.
And, we want to hear from you. Email us know your thoughts on the College’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats for any of our identified priorities.
