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!

Marketing + Communications Director

Lockheed Martin Ethics in Engineering Competition |
|
|
The 6th Annual Ethics in Engineering Case Competition will be held February 27 to March 1, 2023, at the Center for Leadership Excellence on the Lockheed Martin Headquarters campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
Why We Hold the Competition
When it comes to business and technology, ethics awareness is a good investment. In today’s highly competitive marketplace, ethics plays a major role in business decision-making where a single misstep in judgment can impact safety, quality, as well as the reputation of the entire organization. Integrity is so vital to our business that we want students to be thinking seriously about ethics before they enter the workforce – especially in the increasingly complex landscape of technology and innovation.
The Competition
The case, developed with the support of two engineering leaders, presents a dilemma that requires two stakeholder groups to resolve. Two schools compete head-to-head, each representing one of the stakeholder groups. The goal for the successful team is not to win by forcing the other team to lose, but to take the lead in coming up with a win -win solution.
Recent competitions have addressed issues of potential satellite collisions, hypersonics, and challenges of Artificial Intelligence.
Registration
$500 per team (which includes two students and one faculty advisor).
Fee covers all meals and transportation to events outside of our Conference Facility.
