Interested in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work at Engineering? |
On behalf of Interim Dean Alvi, everyone in our FAMU-FSU Engineering community is invited to join our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts at the college. This past year, our Let’s Start Here (LSH) Leadership Committee began this work in earnest for our faculty, students and staff. We are currently accepting volunteer interest in serving on the newly-formed Engineering DEI Advisory Council, which will pick up where the LSH committee left off.
In addition to the DEI Advisory Council, there are myriad other ways to get involved in creating a college culture that is more inclusive, offers equal opportunities for all and celebrates the diversity on our campus. There’s something for anyone who is interested in this important work. Please take a moment to complete this form if you are interested in joining us.
Thank you!
Tisha Keller, M.A.
Marketing + Communications Director

EREF seeks landfill emissions measurement improvements |
Foundation announces partnership with Florida State University to conduct emissions research. |
|
|
By Brian Taylor
The Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF), Raleigh, North Carolina, has announced a project intended to aggregate data related to direct measurement of landfill emissions. The research is taking place in partnership with Florida State University (FSU), with Dr. Tarek Abichou of FSU’s College of Engineering as the principal investigator on the project.
“This project will combine data from a variety of direct emission measurement technologies, with some sites being measured for emissions using multiple technologies over the same time frames to allow inter-comparison of results,” EREF says.
The project aims to make “a significant contribution” in the methodologies of providing estimates of methane emissions rates, the foundation adds, with the work being conducted at FSU designed to provide scientifically validated landfill emission measurement methodologies and improve protocols for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories for landfills.
