When Samuel Graham was at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering in the early ‘90s, the young mechanical engineering major was a first-generation college student navigating the challenge of how to make it through college and pay for it. Through internships that took him to Florida, Texas and Ohio, Graham discovered a love for mechanical engineering that hasn’t stopped since.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A Florida State University professor’s research could help quantum computing fulfill its promise as a powerful computational tool.

William Oates, the Cummins Inc. Professor in Mechanical Engineering and chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, and postdoctoral researcher Guanglei Xu found a way to automatically infer parameters used in an important quantum Boltzmann machine algorithm for machine learning applications.

J. Murray Gibson, dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, today announced his plans to step down in December to spend the last years of his career as a faculty member in the college carrying out research, teaching and service. 

Gibson joined the college as dean on July 1, 2016. He led during a period of remarkable growth in the college and its external reputation. The college jumped up 51 points in rankings last year and is now the second-highest ranked engineering school in Florida, according to US News and World Report. 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — For Florida State University engineering professor Christian Hubicki, robots aren’t just a tool for the future. They’re a way to understand everything around us.

Hubicki, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, will continue that quest thanks to a $750,000 Young Faculty Researcher grant from the Toyota Research Institute (TRI). The grant is part of a larger initiative from TRI that will distribute $75 million to 16 institutions around the country.

Rattlers and Noles! We want to have our own FAMU-FSU Engineering Mascot and we need your help!

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering needs your help designing a new mascot! How would you like to use those design skills you have and to make history at the college? We want to invite you to design a mascot to represent the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

A graduate student at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering has earned a prestigious fellowship from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Abiola Temidayo Oloye is a doctoral student in materials science at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, she received her bachelor’s and first master’s degree from the Southwest State University in Kursk, Russia, in electronic engineering and telecommunications. She also holds a master’s in materials science. 

Imam Hossain, doctoral student in materials science at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University (FSU), was recently awarded a 2021 Graduate Study Fellowship by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Council on Superconductivity (IEEE-CSC) for work in the field. 

Superfluids are one of the 20th century’s most fascinating and important discoveries. Their study is the basis of Nobel Prize-winning work, and they hold promise for better electricity transmission and may even help answer the secrets of the universe with their mysterious “quantum fluid” properties.
