More than 20 bachelor’s students are in Chief Engineering College in Chief Engineering College, heading the faculty, heading the faculty, heading the faculty for the Masters (REU) program financed by the $ 1 million National Science Foundation (NSF) program.
Part of the NSF’s HBCU-Up Rise Initiative, root and engineering students – especially in developed enterprises and backgrounds, a 12-week program with a competitive experience in developed scientific areas. Students are placed in various laboratories between the innovation park campus, including the national high-magnetic field laboratory, interdisciplinary research building and other high-tech facilities.
“It often lives for the first time, many of our students want to research,” he said. “They don’t learn only in a class – they work on real problems, explore new technologies and develop academic and professional futures.”
Professor and the main investigator Subramanian Ramakrishnan, the main service and director of the NASA Center, the NSF Crest Center, the director of the NSF Crest Center, the Director of the NSF Crest Center. He conducts this transformative initiative in the Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Department at Famu-FSU Engineering College and the National High Magnetic Area Laboratory. Together, Ramakrishnan and Ali provide very important mentors and vision to manage the success of the program.
This summer includes students of the University of Florida A & M University, Florida State University, Tallahassee State College, Hillsborough University students. Each participant receives a $ 7,000 scholarship and is connected to physics and chemical engineering with the faculty research team in subjects to physics, chemical and engineering engineering.
Natalie Santisteban, rising from Orlando, The program in Chemical Engineering in Famu is both familiar and transformative. Now over a project that is in the second year, 3D printing and operating a project that makes a surface change to create ink for direct complex writing and directly in sophistication.
“We create composites that can be used in applications such as aerospace components or insulations, changing chemical bonds in cellulose,” Santisteban said.
He said he teaches the resistance and adaptation of his journey to the study.
“You have days that your samples or experiences are not correct and do not have to publish magazine articles to understand what wrong is wrong.” “It requires a lot of motivation and discipline, but the experience made me a stronger student and researcher.”
Hope to build a career in Santistoban Pharmacy Development. Inspired by the experience with the Alzheimer’s experience with his father’s diabetes and grandmother, long-term treatment and drug efficiency was long.
“I always wanted to help people,” he said. “As a child, I was interested in how the drug works. This program helped me set up this program to make this interest.”
A large great Janelle Thomas rising from Palm Beach is based on biological system engineering in Famu. Makes most of the most time in the program. Around Thomas’s project centers around the thicker anuxetic structures for applications applied in tissue engineering.
“There are all the basic elements of biomenering, because 3D designs, printing, printing and getting experience in cell culture,” Thomas said. “They are full skills because I am preparing to enter biotechnology.”
Thomas said that the long-term goal is to combine engineering with drugs. Once a doctor looks like a doctor, now in biotech in innovation, supporting the medical field and developing technologies that improve patient results.
“I want to help the engineering side, but in engineering,” he said. “This application gives me the means to do it.”
Especially acknowledges that there are difficulties when studying 3D CAD program on their personal computer.
“Managing the program, first slowed my computer,” he said. “But after we receive this learning curve, I was able to move faster and more effectively.”
Students in Reu participate in a number of presentations throughout the summer, end in the last written report. They also receive support with Resumé Building, Aspirant Language Planning and Public Speech.
“This program is not only related to the laboratory work – to help students grow confident and skillful researchers,” he said.
Reu program also supports the students of partner organizations as a college college of Tallahassee State College and Hillsborough Community Community Community. Because the four-year grant enters the final stage, the organizers hope to extend the program.
“This program creates life changing opportunities,” he said. “Students combine sources, mentors and experiences that may change the course of their careers.”
