Interested in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work at Engineering?
|
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

Preview! NASA's 2023 Gateways to Blue Skies: Clean Aviation Energy Competition |
2023 Theme: Clean Aviation Energy
NASA Aeronautics' collegiate-level design competition asks student teams to conceptualize the source-to-flight lifecycle of one potential clean aviation energy source of the 2050s, in terms of feasibility, viability, and environmental impact.
Initial participation involves a design study and submission of a 5-7 page proposal and two minute video. Based on a review of these submissions, up to 8 finalist teams will be selected
to develop a final research paper, infographic, and present their work in a competitive design
review during the 2023 Gateways to Blue Skies Forum at a NASA Center in June 2023.
The 2023 Gateways to Blue Skies: Clean Aviation Energy competition specifically asks teams to assess the energy landscape in which a selected energy source will be implemented, including a justification, technology readiness, and a timeline towards implementation.
