When FAMU-FSU College of Engineering student Roneisha Haney got the disappointing news that her internship offer from The Dow Chemical Company would be postponed due to COVID-19, the determined chemical engineering doctoral candidate decided to make the most of her situation. She applied and got accepted to participate in a prestigious symposium event hosted by Dow to showcase her skills.

Florida A&M University and Florida State University are leveraging their unique partnership through the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering to create more learning opportunities for under-resourced students in engineering while also making improvements to existing medical applications.

Two FAMU-FSU Engineering faculty members have received the National Science Foundation’s prestigious CAREER award this year for researchers in the early stages of their careers.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering’s annual Green & Gold 2019 Tailgate party was a big success this year with more than 400 people in attendance. This is the second year of the festive event that celebrates the partnership between the two universities.

The Army's corporate research laboratory recently hosted a professor from Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering to collaborate on chemically-powered artificial muscles for the future Soldier.

Scientists are using powerful magnets to learn how to better detect, treat and track the second leading cause of death worldwide.

Among all the ailments the human body may face, cancer is one of the trickiest. It can grow stealthily, evade detection, evolve complex defenses to drugs. Researchers have been studying cancer, and developing drugs to fight it, for decades in hopes of one day stamping out the mutant cells that are constantly outsmarting our immune systems.

When a stroke strikes the brain, neurons die. But danger lingers for days afterward, as low oxygen in the area of the stroke threatens surviving brain cells. Researchers using a world-record magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine at the National MagLab have been developing a way to save them.

The technique involves using adult stem cells retrieved from outside the brain, treating them to promote healing and growth, then sending them through the blood to the site of the stroke.

A Florida State University and Cornell University research team found that batteries built from inexpensive and safe components can deliver three to four times the punch of batteries built with today’s state-of-the-art lithium ion technology.

The researchers’ work is published today in Nature Communications.

For some undergraduate students at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, learning isn’t limited to the classroom and labs. Hands-on undergraduate research is encouraged, as well as supported.

Peter Cheetham, Ph.D., a research faculty member at the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS), mentors three undergraduate engineering students who are now primary authors of research publications on projects they have been engaged with all year.
