Madison Kirkpatrick is a senior in civil and environmental engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and has had quite a journey as the semester is coming to an end.

Researchers from a consortium of six institutions led by Florida A&M University have secured a five-year grant for $2 million per year from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to establish a new Tier One University Transportation Center (UTC) at FAMU. 

On April 7, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering honored outstanding faculty and staff at the annual College Awards Night Banquet at the Capital City Country Club in Tallahassee, Florida. Ditching their sneakers, the engineering campus community celebrated the success of their students and peers on a warm night of fellowship.
 
The awards recognize employees who go above and beyond their day-to-day duties to serve the engineering campus community. Students from several top senior design teams were also honored at the event.
