Summer is coming to a close, and the new academic year is an exciting time on campus. New and returning faculty and staff had the chance to meet Suvranu De, the new dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, and to celebrate the year the college turns 40. 

More than 12 new faculty bring new energy to the engineering community of over 300 faculty and staff at the college. De shared some thoughts about being at the helm and expressed his desire to meet everyone personally on his staff. His message of serving was warmly greeted by the enthusiastic crowd. 

An international team of scientists featuring FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University researchers has developed a model that predicts the spread of vortices in so-called superfluids, work that provides new insight into the physics that governs turbulence in quantum fluid systems such as superfluid neutron stars.

Walking out of the latest “Top Gun” movie, you might remember the iconic catchphrase, “I feel the need for speed.” Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, played by Tom Cruise, said those famous words in the 1986 movie, and they became the mantra of NAVY fighter pilots pushing their limits with the aerodynamics of flight. That’s the movies, but what about real life?

Rajan Kumar, the director of the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP) and a professor in mechanical engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, has some thoughts about that.

Food, memories & football in Tallahassee on September 23!

This is the 40th anniversary year of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, and we’re celebrating 2022 in a big way! On September 23, join us for the 40th Anniversary Green & Gold Tailgate, a party designed for Rattler Engineers and Nole Engineers to celebrate together. Activites include:

Ever watch a cockroach scurry about, with its flat armored body that slips in a crack and then flies through the air? Before you swat that pesky creature, you might want to think about the engineering feat that insect just accomplished.
