FAMU-FSU engineering professors Christian Hubicki and Tarik Dickens were recently honored at the 2019 National Academy of Engineering (NAE), “Frontiers of Engineering” (FOE) symposium held in South Carolina, in September 2019.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering’s annual Green & Gold 2019 Tailgate party was a big success this year with more than 400 people in attendance. This is the second year of the festive event that celebrates the partnership between the two universities.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The world of aerospace increasingly relies on carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites to build the structures of satellites, rockets and jet aircraft.

But the life of those materials is limited by how they handle heat.

A team of FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers from Florida State University’s High-Performance Materials Institute is developing a design for a heat shield that better protects those extremely fast machines. Their work will be published in the November edition of CARBON.
