Bryce Outten, Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering

“Here at FAMU, with the support of the college, I’ve been able to develop as an engineer. The connection to HBCUs has been instrumental in helping me push myself higher than I could have imagined. The polysonic wind tunnel is one of the top wind tunnels in the U.S. and companies like NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrup Grumman use the facility. When I was visiting other schools and saw their facilities, I can truly say I have not seen anything out there like we have.”
