At the heart of our institution, our students recognize our college’s unique value proposition as the only joint college of engineering in the country—at the nexus of the top public HBCU and a top 25 public research university. As we move forward with this exemplary pedigree that combines Florida A&M University and Florida State University, we aspire to attract even more highly qualified engineering students and further affirm our commitment to their success. We aim to create an environment that fosters innovation and curiosity, equipping our students with the skills they need to excel.

Our ambition is to push beyond existing boundaries and attract the best and brightest students and faculty to our fold. Our graduates are not only leaders in engineering but also play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our society. As we engineer our future, we aspire to amplify alumni engagement and establish new alliances to build a robust and sustainable endowment that will support our mission now and well into the future.

Our plan is organized around strategic priorities that are aligned with our parent universities’ own strategic visions and outlines the most important broad focus areas for our upward growth. The launch of “Engineering our Future” is the time for us to take a bold step forward! Our goal is not just to reach new heights of excellence but to redefine them. As we embark on this journey together as “One College,” envision our future one step at a time, reaching new pinnacles of excellence and carving our niche in the academic engineering community.
