New research from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering combines climate and land use projections to predict water availability.
“Current climate models are a reliable tool to predict future water availability,” said Gang Chen, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the college. “What we are lacking is having enough data to make those models as effective as they can be.”
Anwer Al-Kaimakchi, a civil engineering graduate student at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, received the Best Paper Award for Structural Analysis and Design at the International Federation for Structural Concrete-FIB conference held in Paris, France, in late summer of this year.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — When Hurricane Michael devastated rural inland communities in the Florida Panhandle in 2018, public libraries played a critical role in the natural disaster response.

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.
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.
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.
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.”
