Florida A&M University (FAMU) and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are part of the newly formed Centers of Excellence funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to establish regional Industrial Assessment Centers (IAC) to train the next generation of engineers and bring green manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. 

On April 7, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering honored outstanding faculty and staff at the annual College Awards Night Banquet at the Capital City Country Club in Tallahassee, Florida. Ditching their sneakers, the engineering campus community celebrated the success of their students and peers on a warm night of fellowship.
 
The awards recognize employees who go above and beyond their day-to-day duties to serve the engineering campus community. Students from several top senior design teams were also honored at the event.        

More than a dozen of our FAMU-FSU College of Engineering faculty members have active labs at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Using the world’s most powerful magnet technology, they study everything from human neurobiology to complex fluid mechanics.

A team of researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is developing a modular solar electricity system that can help communities keep electricity flowing during natural disasters.

They say lightning never strikes in the same place twice. For Srikar Telikapalli, a graduate student in electrical engineering, that theory doesn’t hold—at least when it comes to awards. 

“I’m very fortunate to receive these awards, I can whole heartedly say that this was a group effort,” Telikapalli said. “The support provided to me by my adviser Dr. Pamidi and my mentors Dr. Cheetham and Dr. Kim, my colleagues at the HTS lab in CAPS and the college this would not be possible.”
