Undergrad in the Lab: Cleaning Water with Beneficial Bacteria with Dr. Youneng Tang
Interested in engineering research but think there are no opportunities for undergrads to get involved? Think again!
In this live Zoom, get an inside look at the microbial research Dr. Youneng Tang’s civil/environmental engineering team is working on to find a better way to produce clean drinking water for the world's needs. He will give a brief (30 min) talk about his research and how undergrads can get involved. Open to all engineering undergraduates and those interested in attending FAMU-FSU Engineering.
Aerospace, Mechatronics and Energy building management becomes integrated with the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering
The Aerospace, Mechatronics and Energy (AME) building and Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP) in Tallahassee’s Innovation Park adopted new management models and leadership under the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering on July 1, 2020. This was the culmination of a three-year transition period which began in July 2017.
Engineering researchers harness wind data to help meet energy needs in Florida
Florida is one of several states in the Southeast where wind energy is virtually nonexistent, which is one reason wind farms have not been an economically viable energy source in the region. But a new study from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering shows how upcoming technological advances could make wind energy a hot commodity in the Sunshine State.
Spainhour awarded grant and selected for prestigious leadership program at Drexel
Years ago as a new faculty member, FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Professor Lisa Spainhour wrote an essay on the lack of a variety of thinking in the engineering profession. “If all you have is hammers,” she lamented, “All of the problems will look like nails.”
