The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in partnership with Keysight Technologies, has opened a new measurements and instrumentation lab, serving engineering education and research at the college. 

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.

A FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University researcher who pioneered power conversion technology has been named to the National Academy of Inventors.

Fang Zheng Peng, a distinguished professor in engineering, is one of 169 distinguished academic inventors who are part of this year’s NAI class.

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.

What if you could have a virtual doctor’s appointment from your living room—and they could feel the bump on your knee from thousands of miles away? With new research at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Northwestern University, this might happen sooner than you think.

Through Florida A&M University, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering recently received a total of $7.5 million in funding for state-of-the-art research equipment from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). These three equipment grants are set aside for research programs associated with HBCUs and will enhance the college’s production of Black and other minority future engineering faculty.

When Roger McGinnis was an officer serving on U.S. Navy ships, a problem with the onboard electrical system typically meant enduring a power outage that could last up to several hours.

Now, as a director of Florida State University’s Center for Advanced Power Systems, or CAPS, McGinnis oversees an entity dedicated to finding solutions that would instantly resolve those problems.
