Florida A&M University (FAMU) and the Florida Center of Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP) have been awarded $1,200,000 by the Army Research Office (ARO). The award will expand the high-speed research capability at the facility and recruit more African American students to pursue careers in aerospace engineering. 

What if you could have a virtual doctor’s appointment from your living room—and they could feel the bump on your knee from thousands of miles away? With new research at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Northwestern University, this might happen sooner than you think.

When the temperature of matter approaches absolute zero, a different type of physics takes over. Instead of classical physics — the physics you learned about in high school — quantum physics governs its behavior.

For example, helium is typically a gas, but when an isotope of helium is cooled to very low temperatures, it becomes a quantum liquid called superfluid helium. Quantum liquids behave in unusual ways, appearing to climb up a gradient or forming thin vortex tubes around which the superfluid flows without friction.

Mikayla Schuller returned to Tallahassee this fall after a better-than-usual summer between semesters.

Schuller, one of only a few Feature Twirlers at Florida State University, took fourth place in the junior women’s short program and freestyle category in the World Baton Twirling Federation World Championship (WBTF). The sophomore mechanical engineering student at Florida State University and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering takes the success—and the work—in stride.

What’s it like to be an engineering graduate student at Florida A&M University and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering? Two students share their stories about the experience.

Milan Rede is a second-year doctoral student in chemical engineering through Florida A&M University and wants to clear up some misconceptions about college life as an engineering student. She thinks there is sometimes a little confusion about how the joint FAMU-FSU College of Engineering works. Sometimes people don’t understand the relationship between the two schools.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering celebrated its 40^th anniversary on September 23, 2022 at a tailgate-style event on its Tallahassee campus. The celebration was designed to bring Rattler and ‘Nole engineers together for a party to reminisce and celebrate the joint college’s achievements over the last four decades. More than 700 people enjoyed live music, food and campus and lab tours on a Friday before both universities hosted home football games.
