Ready to share what's on your mind with Dean De?
College of Engineering faculty members are invited for a direct, informal conversation with leadership. Whether you have ideas to improve our college, observations about current initiatives, or suggestions for new directions, please bring your lunch and your thoughts to share. No formal presentations, no agenda—just open dialogue about what matters to you and our engineering community. Your voice shapes our future.
This event is sponsored by FAMU-FSU Engineering Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering & Center for Advanced Power Systems.
This week’s Data-Enabled Computational Engineering and Applied Quantum Computing workshop is about Uncertainty Quantification and will be presented by Professor W. Oates, the Cummins Professor at FAMU-FSU Joint College of Engineering, who studies smart materials and adaptive structures using Bayesian methods for modeling and analysis.
The November 2025 induction ceremony at the ASEMFL Annual Meeting will recognize these faculty members’ achievements across materials science, power electronics, plasma engineering and advanced manufacturing. All five inductees have also earned membership in the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), underscoring their impact on transformative research.
Note: time is not confirmed and subject to change. More details to come.
