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.

Industry and faculty from different colleges had the chance to network on the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida A&M University campuses at the semi-annual ASTERIX conference. It was the first time the conference took place at the college. 

The Advanced Sensor Technologies for Applications in Electrical Engineering-Research and Innovation excellence (ASTERIX) Consortium highlighted objectives for the upcoming year and champions the goal of building a more multicultural STEM workforce pipeline.

Hunter Fitch, an alumnus from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, is one of 22 Notable Noles under 35, honored with the Young Alumni Award from the FSU Alumni Association.
