The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering serves as the nexus of two major public universities, each with a distinct mission yet focused on delivering world-class engineering education and research. Created by the Florida Legislature in 1982, the joint institution is the College of Engineering for both Florida A&M and Florida State universities. This unique combination of focus, resources, and mission from our parent institutions has created on our campus a truly innovative atmosphere that leverages the benefits of the traditional HBCU model with the innovations of an R-1 public research university. After completing the pre-requisites at their home institution, FAMU and FSU students learn, study, and research together at our independent campus with jointly appointed faculty and staff. Students graduate from their enrolling university and from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Both FAMU and FSU are part of the State University System of Florida and are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Additionally, all seven of the college’s eligible undergraduate degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (https://www.abet.org).
Candidates must possess an earned Ph.D. in Electrical or Computer Engineering or a closely related discipline, demonstrate the ability to teach large classes, and have a strong interest in using technology in engineering education. The successful candidate is expected to have a strong commitment to teaching excellence in undergraduate and graduate courses and participate in college and professional service.
