Engineering students find inspiration and adventure during summer research opportunities in Germany

Professor Raphael Kampmann strives to forge unique and beneficial opportunities for his engineering students. As a civil engineer from Germany, he has crafted programs abroad that provide experiential and hands-on learning for his students. For the past five years he has used his academic connections to create internship opportunities in Germany for FAMU-FSU Engineering students. 

Engineering researchers receive $500,000 NSF grant to study hurricane hazards and evacuation

Hurricane tracks can be erratic. Sometimes storms change directions, they wobble, or move in an unpredictable path that can pose unique challenges for evacuees. 

Now, two FAMU-FSU College of Engineering faculty members have received a $500,000 National Science Foundation grant to develop several models that address integrated coastal hazards and how the uncertainty of a hurricane track can affect evacuation practices.
