More than 60 students from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering participated in the 2019 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Southeast student conference. The event was hosted by the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. During the conference, engineering students from 29 schools had the opportunity to network and compete in numerous engineering challenges. 

FAMU-FSU Engineering students Daniel Diaz, Jamie Green and Parker Austin were awarded first place for their design of a sustainable dog house.

Every day, people move about, commuting to work, visiting friends, attending events and going about their business. Traffic gets heavy at times and then lightens up. All around town, electric power capacity is ready and waiting at houses and businesses for whatever needs arise—even when occupants won’t be around for hours on end. What if scientists could design a better way to ration energy resources that results in less congestion, fewer power outages and lower utility bills? 

Florida State University students, employees and organizations gathered April 9 for the university’s annual Leadership Awards Night. The ceremony, sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs, honors the diverse collection of individuals and groups across campus who engage in leadership learning.

In 2021, the ASCE national Committee on Student Conferences and Competitions decided to realign the student conferences to better fit with the Society’s geographical regions. The change will also result in smaller regions, making it easier for schools to travel to spring competitions. The southeast region, which previously stretched from Puerto Rico to Tennessee, will be split into two regions, and FAMU-FSU’s chapter will join a new region including schools from Georgia, Florida, and Puerto Rico.

Every day, a question is heard in households across the country. "Honey, where are the car keys?" Or maybe, "Have you seen my glasses?" Or perhaps the treacherous, "OK, what did you do with the remote?" Yes, people lose things. Can anything be done about it?

That was just one of the problems pursued by Florida State University and Florida A&M University students during InnoVenture Weekend, a two-day team-building, innovation and business-pitch competition.

On Friday, February 23 at the Los Robles Women’s Club in Tallahassee, local professional members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Tallahassee branch celebrated engineers new and seasoned. 

The 2018 Engineer's Week Banquet included celebrations of all kinds, but the some awards were particularly proud moments for the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering participants.

During the banquet, three ASCE Tallahassee members with ties to the college were recognized for their outstanding achievements at this year's awards banquet.

It is fairly well understood what can happen to the natural environment during major weather events. But what happens when man adds built structures to the mix?

Research shows building integrity begins to deteriorate after violent hurricanes and that nearby terrain plays a factor in the wind loads that affect the buildings. The effects of heterogeneous terrains – a combination of suburban buildings, trees, roads and the like – are less known than homogeneous (rural) terrains.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is pleased to welcome Dr. Juyeong Choi to its ranks as an assistant professor in the area of infrastructure sustainability and construction engineering. Choi comes to us from Purdue University, where he received master’s and doctoral degrees in civil engineering, with a focus on construction engineering. He also holds a bachelor’s in architectural engineering from the University of Seoul in South Korea.
