The College of Engineering has over $50 million of sponsored research is under multi-year contract and annual expenditures are approximately $12 million. The research productivity at the College of Engineering provides opportunities for more than 300 graduate students to conduct their research.

In 2006, the Florida Board of Governors selected FSU's proposal for a Center of Excellence in Advanced Materials and FSU is constructing a 44,000-square-foot (4,100 m²) 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 of Engineering also operates a Challenger Learning Center in downtown Tallahassee, Florida with a planetarium and IMAX theater. This project was cosponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
