FAMU-FSU College of Engineering part of ASTRO America partnership with other top Florida universities to expand 3d printing in the state and grow high-tech jobs

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. See what’s behind the scenes at the National “MagLab” just steps from our college.

Two FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers won prestigious National Science Foundation early-career awards designed to celebrate emerging leaders in their fields. 

Juyeong Choi, an assistant professor in civil and environmental engineering and Lichun Li, an assistant professor in industrial and manufacturing engineering, received Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) awards and will receive a five-year grant from the NSF.

In a sweeping victory, two Tallahassee middle schools scored first and second place in the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition. The students made it to the semifinals and if they are successful have the chance to compete in the nationals this spring.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering sponsored the Cyber Patriot teams. The teams are two of the 75 middle school teams who participated from Florida this year. There are over 5,264 teams in the nationwide K-12 program.

After just one year on the job, Balaji Krishna Kumar has made an immediate impact on the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering’s research culture. Kumar is a postdoctoral researcher at the National Science Foundation-CREST program at the college and works with Florida A&M University doctoral students and undergraduate program interns on novel materials research.
