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? 

Students create designs and pitch ideas at InnoVenture Weekend

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.

Alumni and students are standout awardees in ASCE Tallahassee 2018 engineering awards

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.

Scientists to study how a cityscape affects wind damage to buildings

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.

Dr. Juyeong Choi joins CEE Department

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. 

Three FAMU FSU engineering students selected for inaugural Dean’s Engineering Fellows Program

Recently, engineering dean J. Murray Gibson initiated the Dean’s Engineering Fellows Program, a new graduate funding program from the Dean of Engineering facilitated through the Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Studies. The aim of the initiative is to enhance the quality and number of engineering Ph.D. students at the college.
