Research opportunities ignite interest and success for engineering undergraduates

“Typically, when we talk about research we think about graduate students, but that is changing,” says Sastry Pamidi, a professor and chair of electrical and computer engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Pamidi wants students to know about the undergraduate research opportunities available at the college, which is located close to several affiliated world-renowned research centers. 

Engineering professors win FSU GAP awards help faculty commercialize inventions

Three teams led by Florida State University faculty members--including two at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering--have received funding from the university to propel their pioneering research from the lab to the marketplace.

The researchers have been awarded a combined pot of $110,000 following their successful pitches at the university’s biannual GAP competition, an event organized by the Office of the Vice President for Research where faculty members present their ideas to a committee of businesspeople.

For the FSU-FAMU College of Engineering, research and multiculturalism are the most significant factors in the school’s rising national ranking.

According to Murray Gibson, dean of the shared college, they have increased their rankings by about 19 points in the last two years. He says it’s all due to their messaging and their research funding.

FAMU-FSU Engineering students win first place in 2019 Doghouse Challenge and Sight-Reading competitions at ASCE Conference

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 researchers analyze mobility data for smart power usage

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?
