Teng Ma Memorial Lecture

Chemical Engineering was one of the founding departments when the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering was established in 1982. The BS degree in ChE was followed by the MS and PhD programs in 1988. I joined the department in 1989 as the 5th tenure/track faculty member when we had 6 graduating seniors and approximately 5 graduate students. The numbers of faculty members and graduate and undergraduate students expanded during the 1990s.
