Dear FAMU-FSU College of Engineering students,
Although classes at both main campuses will be suspended on their respective Homecoming Day (see dates below), classes at the College of Engineering will be held as usual.
FAMU and FSU engineering students who wish to participate in the Homecoming events should notify their instructor(s) ahead of time. An excused absence does not necessarily excuse you from any missed course work.
When Peter Cheetham first arrived at the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) as a graduate student four years ago, there was a problem that needed a solution. Researchers at the center were working on a million-dollar grant from the U.S. Office of Naval Research to design a power system for an all-electric ship—something that hadn’t yet been done.
