Several new faculty across four departments joined our ranks this semester, including a very esteemed hire in Rams Ramamoorthy as a Professor in chemical and biomedical engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
These changes took effect now, at the start of the Fall 2023 semester. Join us in congratulating these deserving instructors and researchers, all of whom are jointly appointed at both Florida A&M and Florida State universities as part of their affiliation with our joint college.
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering’s biomedical engineering undergraduate program is newly accredited by the EAC Accreditation Commission(s) of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Bioengineering and Biomedical Program Criteria. The first graduating class in the BME program was in 2021 and the new designation applies to all graduates retroactively. Accreditation is the gold standard and is a marker of program quality in engineering.
Ionic liquids have generated considerable excitement for their varied potential applications and their interesting physical properties. The viability of ionic liquids (ILs) in materials applications is limited by their lack of mechanical integrity, which may be provided by mixing them with a polymeric material.
Researchers at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed two closely related polymers that respond differently to high and low-temperature thresholds, despite their similar design. The polymer pair could be used in applications in medicine, protein synthesis, protective coatings and other fields. Their work is published in Macromolecules.
