The Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) at Florida State University has received a new $31 million contract from the Naval Sea Systems Command for the research and development associated with shipboard electrical power and energy systems. The center is closely associated with the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.
Sastry Pamidi is the chair and professor of electrical and computer engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the associate director for the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS).
Since 1968, CARE has provided services to traditionally underresourced students at FSU.
Engineering students Latarence Butts and Daziyah Sullivan were honored at BEYA, the Black Engineers of the Year Awards STEM Conference this year. The scholars won academic leadership awards at the event February 2018 event held in Washington D.C.
LeMoyne Adams, a 1990 graduate of Florida A&M University (FAMU), has been promoted to Vice President of Electric & Water Distribution for the OUC – The Reliable One, effective April 16.
Taylor J. Davis isn’t one to shy away from the hard stuff. In fact, he almost seems to thrive on the grueling pace of engineering education. On May 4, he leaves the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering with dual degrees in mechanical and electrical engineering, an accomplishment very few even attempt.
He’s also leaving with a working model for a hydroelectric generator, a unique project that embodies Davis’ passion for mechanics and the environment and may just be the key to his future.
Arianna Jones is a teenager determined to help others with a future degree in engineering. Each Saturday, she participates in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering’s College Reach-Out Program (CROP) where she is mentored by engineering faculty such as Shonda Bernadin, Ph.D.
The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, the nation’s only joint engineering college shared between two institutions—Florida A&M and Florida State universities—gained seven points in the annual graduate and professional programs rankings by U.S. News & World Report’s 2019 edition of “Best Graduate Schools.”
Dean J. Murray Gibson announced Monday his appointment of Sastry V. Pamidi, Ph.D., MBA as the chair of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering’s (COE) Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). Pamidi begins his new role July 1, 2018.
A team of six student engineers, who brainstormed a hands-free umbrella for wheelchairs, won the grand prize of $10,000 in Florida State University’s annual InNOLEvation® Challenge sponsored by the Jim Moran School of Entrepreneurship.
The students, all seniors at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, created an umbrella called DriGo that automatically deploys when a person pushes a lever located behind the left elbow.
Claire Kelly, an industrial engineering student, said there’s nothing else like DriGo on the market.
