The Florida State University College of Engineering is one of sixteen colleges comprising the Florida State University (FSU). The College, jointly operated with Florida A&M University, operates from a 200,000 square foot complex of buildings near Innovation Park. Although the College of Engineering is jointly operated with FAMU, who remains responsible for the operating and maintenance budget for the building, the vast majority of students (over 80%) and faculty (over 65%) are associated with Florida State University.
The high level of research productivity at the College of Engineering provides opportunities for more than 300 graduate students to conduct their research. In 2006, the Board of Governors selected FSU's proposal for a Center of Excellence in Advanced Materials and FSU is presently constructing a 44,000 square foot Materials Research Building near the College of Engineering, which will house 13 laboratories for the design, processing and characterization of advanced materials and systems. It is expected that several College of Engineering faculty will be housed in this FSU building.
The College has six FSU research centers:
- Florida Advanced Center for Composite Technologies (FAC2T) which became Florida’s first National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC);
- Center for Intelligent Systems, Control, and Robotics (CISCOR)
- Sustainable Energy Science and Engineering Center (SESEC)
- Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS)
- Center for Nanomagnetics and Biotechnology (CNB)
- Undergraduate Research Center for Cutting Edge Technologies (URCCET).
