Weston Dudley is pursuing his engineering degree through Florida State University and is involved in many student activities at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.
Like giant lungs, termite mounds breathe. They Inhale and exhale throughout the day as temperatures rise and fall. Turns out what’s good for termites, might be good for humans and might help humans build more energy-efficient structures.
Saurebh Saxena is a mechanical engineering doctoral student working with assistant professor Neda Yaghoobian at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Saxena is the lead author on a paper that uses novel computational models to shed new light on the ventilation mechanism of termite mounds.
For someone as committed to service as Adam O’Neill, the appeal of simultaneously working in an organization on both the inside and outside was strong.
“I want to be an inspiration to students,” Ja’Niyah Allen exclaims. “To show them there is more out there and show them what is possible.”
Allen is a fourth-year mechanical engineering student from Orlando and serves on the Student Engineering Leadership Board (SELB) at FAMU-FSU Engineering. Recently, we talked with Allen about some of the objectives she has for the group that acts in an advisory and leadership capacity for students.

On March 22, 2018, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering student chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) was awarded Southeastern Region III Chapter of the Year. This region encompasses five states and the Bahamas. Representing the college, 56 NSBE chapter members attended the 44th annual convention in Pittsburgh. This is the first time since 2006 the chapter has won the award.
Eight freshmen engineering students from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering won third place in the Advancing Minorities Interest in Engineering (AMIE) Design Challenge. The event was hosted at the Black Engineer of the Year Awards (BEYA) conference held in February, 2019 in Washington, D.C. A total of 11 teams from various Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) participated in the event.
First-year engineering doctoral student Jonathan Lee recently received the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. The fellowship is considered one of the country’s most prestigious honors for graduate students beginning their studies. Lee will start his graduate studies at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering (via Florida State University) after graduating with his bachelor’s in material science and engineering from the University of California-Berkeley this spring.
Florida State University researchers have discovered a novel way to improve the performance of electrical wires used in high-temperature superconductors (HTS), findings that have the potential to power a new generation of particle accelerators.
