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

Student Peer Mentors Needed |

"One of the greatest values of mentors is their ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination."
– John C. Maxwell

"A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself." – Oprah Winfrey
|
"A mentor empowers a person to see a possible future and believe it can be obtained." – Shawn Hitchcock |
The Student Engineering Leadership Board was created to assist the engineering student body as a whole, to be attentive to students' needs and be the advocated for students' issues. SELB members serve as liaison between students and the college's administration, faculty and staff.

Researchers Expand Understanding of Vortex Spread in Superfluids |

An international team of scientists featuring Wei Guo and team has developed a model that predicts the spread of vortices in so-called superfluids, work that provides new insight into the physics that governs turbulence in quantum fluid systems such as superfluid neutron stars.
In a paper published in Physical Review Letters, the researchers created a model that describes the spread and speed of tornado-like vortex tubes in superfluids. Vortex tubes are a key ingredient of turbulence, which is widely studied in classical physics. The motion of vortex tubes is relevant in a wide range of scenarios, such as the formation of hurricanes, the airborne transmission of viruses and the chemical mixing in star formation. But it is poorly understood in quantum fluids.
This work expands on a previous study that reported experimental results obtained in superfluid helium-4 within a narrow temperature range. Superfluids are liquids that can flow without resistance, and therefore without a loss of kinetic energy. When they are stirred, they form vortices that rotate indefinitely.

Now Hiring: Guest Services Staff
Learn about the periodic table of elements and which ones can create a bang! Some age-appropriate activities may include: experiment with exploding elements such as alkali metals in water, diet coke and mentos, baking soda and vinegar, elephant toothpaste, bottle rockets, and discover what elements make the different colors in fireworks.

IMAX | The Rise of Gru
In the 1970s, young Gru tries to join a group of supervillains called the Vicious 6 after they oust their leader — the legendary fighter Wild Knuckles. When the interview turns disastrous, Gru and his Minions go on the run with the Vicious 6 hot on their tails. Luckily, he finds an unlikely source for guidance — Wild Knuckles himself — and soon discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. TICKETS ON SALE NOW: (850) 645-7796. |
