J. Murray Gibson, dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, today announced his plans to step down in December to spend the last years of his career as a faculty member in the college carrying out research, teaching and service. 

Gibson joined the college as dean on July 1, 2016. He led during a period of remarkable growth in the college and its external reputation. The college jumped up 51 points in rankings last year and is now the second-highest ranked engineering school in Florida, according to US News and World Report. 

When senior industrial engineering student Kevin Acks isn’t taking engineering classes, he’s preparing for a U.S. Navy career in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. The program, which serves FAMU, Florida State University, and Tallahassee Community College students, trains its participants to become officers in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. 

Acks, a native of Long Island, N.Y., who moved to Aventura, Fla., was always drawn to engineering. 

Rebekah Sweat, assistant professor of industrial and manufacturing engineering and faculty at the High-Performance Materials Institute (HPMI) recently established a partnership with Siemens, a Global 500 company leading the digital transformation charge. 

FAMU-FSU Engineering alumna Bridgette McAdoo has a lot to be proud of these days. She strives to lead a purpose-driven life and always follows her passion when it comes to her career.

“Growing up in the civil rights era, my father knew his purpose. He stood protesting with the great John Lewis, just to be able to pray and integrate churches,” McAdoo said, “and like Dr. Martin Luther King said, it’s about ‘what are you going to do for others?’”

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have discovered they can influence and increase the electrical performance of composites infused with graphene nano-platelets in a National Science Foundation (NSF) study that could change the way materials are designed and manufactured.

Kianna Porter was just a sophomore in her high school when she found her calling. She had just been selected to intern as a NASA research student. Since that time, she’s graduated from the  FAMU-FSU College of Engineering via Florida A&M University (FAMU) and has already achieved a lifetime of success as a woman engineer.

Dean Murray Gibson has an urgent message for all engineering students.
