Jason Maxwell was working on his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering in the late ‘90s when the young student he discovered the importance of teamwork. 

“One thing I learned was that it was less about me and more about you, the LMMY principal,” Maxwell said.” Working with others, in school, in a passionate team environment helped drive me further than I ever thought possible. By focusing on the team, and others, I learned it always comes back around ten-fold.”  

In a series of new articles, researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering made new discoveries on the effects of temperature on sustainable polymers. Their findings may help the industry to produce plastics that are more sustainable and better for the environment.

A FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researcher, collaborating with a colleague from Howard University, is investigating bacteria-related dynamics in one of two new projects supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). 

In the 2021 Best College rankings, FAMU-FSU Engineering moved up to Top 40 public schools nationwide and Top 2 schools in Florida
