Florida A&M University (FAMU) recently named Suvanu De, the Dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, with the prestigious “Google Endowment” designation.

It is the first Google deanship endowed to FAMU and is a testament to the college’s drive to attain Carnegie Research I status. 

Quantum computers have the potential to be revolutionary tools. They can perform calculations that would take classical computers many years to resolve.

But to make an effective quantum computer, you need a reliable quantum bit, or qubit, that can exist in a simultaneous 0 or 1 state for a sufficiently long period, known as its coherence time.

The graduate programs in the nation’s only joint engineering college are among the best in Florida and the nation, according to the latest rankings published in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 edition of “Best Graduate Schools.”  

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering moved up one spot among public institutions with a No. 60 ranking nationally and tied for third overall among Florida public universities.  

Last night, we celebrated our amazing faculty and staff at the 2024 College Employee & Faculty Awards Banquet at Southwood Golf Club. It was a great event with a packed house. Congratulations to the excellent faculty and staff who were recognized for their accomplishments and contributions to the college’s success:
