Founded in 1887 as the State Normal College for Colored Students, FAMU was elevated to university status in 1953 and is now one of eleven universities in Florida’s State University System. The College of Engineering began in 1982 with the special legislated mandate to graduate African Americans, women and other underrepresented groups in engineering fields. Although the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering has been in existence for merely 20 years, this joint institution of Florida A&M University and Florida State University has demonstrated great success in educating engineers for the future, implementing outreach activities to K-12 students, and conducting research to fulfill the needs of society. Committed to its motto, “Quality, Growth, and Diversity,” The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering has become the fastest growing engineering college in the nation. The College occupies two state-of-the-art buildings with 200,000 square feet of classroom, office and laboratory space, with another two on the drawing board to be completed in the next ten years. These facilities have become the academic home for more than 2,300 undergraduate and graduate students.
