Through Florida A&M University, researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering recently secured a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy that ensures a future workforce more reflective of the demographics of the nation. 

The new RENEW program (Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce) develops a strong pipeline for traditionally smaller-population undergraduate and graduate engineering students to pursue the field of applied superconductivity. 

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 was just awarded to three renowned scientists for the development of quantum dots—nanoparticles so small that their properties are determined by quantum phenomena—or their size instead of the number of electrons in the element.

Quantum dots are now used to illuminate televisions and computer screens, LED lamps, and help guide surgeons in removal of tumor tissue.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering welcomed one of its largest graduate enrollment classes in the history of the college.

Suvranu De, a mechanical engineering professor and dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, co-edited a book entitled “Multiscale Modeling in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology,” almost ten years ago. Recently, the book has emerged in the top 20% of all cited books in the Springer collection.
