Engineering Alumna Uses Her Voice to Pay It Forward and Inspire Women in STEM

Danica “Dani” Forestal graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University in 2020 and has been using her experience to support women in STEM ever since. 

The electrical engineer was recently crowned “Miss Raleigh USA” in North Carolina and will compete for Miss North Carolina USA in February. She hopes to use the platform to amplify awareness about the causes she cares about, like having more women in STEM.

Senior Design 2023

Every year, senior engineering students participate in a two-semester Senior Design course, where they apply the knowledge learned in the classroom and work with industry partners on a sponsored project. These undergraduates work in teams, often interdisciplinary to provide innovative and creative solutions for real-life projects. Senior Design is a signature engineering capstone experience for students and the experience helps them realize specific design needs by using engineering skills they have learned through the curriculum.

Northrop Grumman Foundation Awards $1.5M Grant to Establish New STEM Research and Education Program to Meet Areas of National Need

Electrical engineering encompasses several critical skills areas of national need, as identified by the U.S. government. With a new $1.5 million grant from the Northrop Grumman Foundation, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering will ramp up its research activity in these areas. The funds will also support graduate and undergraduate students at the college in these areas.
