Oak Ridge National Laboratory has launched its Neutron Nexus pilot program with Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University, or FAMU, and Florida State University, or FSU, through the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

The first program of its kind nationwide aims to broaden and diversify the scientific user community by reaching out to universities and colleges to increase collaboration and, ultimately, scientific advancement. 

Eric Hellstrom, a distinguished professor of mechanical engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Director of the Florida State University (FSU) Materials Science Program, has been recognized with the prestigious IEEE Dr. James Wong Award for his outstanding contributions to applied superconductivity technology. 

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is poised to become a leader in quantum research and scientific discovery.

With two professors each securing a $5 million grant through Florida A&M University, the college is setting the stage for groundbreaking advancements in the quantum realm. What’s more, the agency awarded only five Track II grants nationwide to institutions (at the $5 million level), and the joint college secured two of those.

Return of the GBM!

It’s fall, and our engineering student organizations and interest groups are back in full swing. Here’s a (not comprehensive) list of the upcoming meetings. As always, all organizations are open to all engineering students regardless of university affiliation. Check the Student Organization page for websites and contact information.

Two FAMU-FSU College of Engineering professors have each been awarded $5 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grants to pursue quantum science research.

The funds were awarded to the joint college through Florida A&M University.
