Eight freshmen engineering students from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering won third place in the Advancing Minorities Interest in Engineering (AMIE) Design Challenge. The event was hosted at the Black Engineer of the Year Awards (BEYA) conference held in February, 2019 in Washington, D.C. A total of 11 teams from various Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) participated in the event. 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Two Florida State University researchers are developing a high-tech material currently used in athletic equipment and prosthetics into a special tool to better develop stem cells. The work could improve drug screening, disease modeling, precision medicine and cell therapy.

Subramanian Ramakrishnan, faculty member at Florida A&M University (FAMU) and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, was named a 3M Professor earlier this month. The endowed appointment recognizes Ramakrishnan’s research and academic accomplishments.

Six engineering undergrads inducted into Florida State University’s prestigious Garnet & Gold Scholar Society this spring

Established in 2010, the Florida State University Garnet & Gold Scholar Society facilitates student involvement and recognizes undergraduate students who excel within and beyond the classroom in at least three of five areas: international experience, internship, leadership, research and service.
 
The induction ceremony was held virtually this spring due to COVID-19.
 

Congratulations to Yan Li, Associate Professor of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and a Faculty Affiliate of the Institute for Successful Longevity, who was honored with a Developing Scholar Award at Florida State University’s 2021 Faculty Awards ceremony Thursday. The Developing Scholar Award identifies, recognizes and honors future research leaders currently at the rank of Associate Professor. Dr.

Xuegang Yuan is a post-doctoral fellow in biomedical engineering and was recently named a Toffler Scholar by the Florida State University College of Medicine and the Karen Toffler Charitable Trust. He was honored with the fellowship for his proposal titled, “Extracellular Vesicles derived from 3D-Engineered Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Aggregates for Multiple Sclerosis Treatment.”

Biswajit Saha is a postdoctoral research associate in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (CBE). Saha is from Alipurduar, India and received his doctoral degree from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research-Kolkata. 

Engineering Senior Design Day 2021 was a virtual showcase of the engineering skills and talent in FAMU-FSU Engineering’s senior class. Two teams received top honors as Best Overall and Best Abstract awardees, out of the 86 engineering design teams made up of Florida A&M and Florida State university students.

J. Murray Gibson, dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, today announced his plans to step down in December to spend the last years of his career as a faculty member in the college carrying out research, teaching and service. 

Gibson joined the college as dean on July 1, 2016. He led during a period of remarkable growth in the college and its external reputation. The college jumped up 51 points in rankings last year and is now the second-highest ranked engineering school in Florida, according to US News and World Report. 

A team of Florida State University researchers at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering has developed a way to use a material found in plants to help create safer batteries.
