The Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering has been selected to receive one of the three national 2009 Claire Felbinger Awards from its accrediting agency.
The award is presented to recognize U.S.-based educational units, individuals, associations, and firms for extraordinary success in achieving or facilitating diversity and inclusiveness in the technological segments of society. The 2009 awards will be conferred on Wednesday, October 28, in San Antonio, Texas, at the 2009 Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Commission Summit.
“When the College was established in 1982, its mission was to attract and graduate a greater number of minorities and women in professional engineering, engineering teaching and research, and to attain national and international recognition of the college through the educational and research achievements and the professional service of its faculty and students,” said Ching-Jen Chen, dean of the E-College. “We are meeting these goals through our accomplishments.”
ABET, Inc. is the professional accreditation agency providing leadership and quality assurance in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology education. Both Florida A&M University and Florida State University have ABET-accredited programs.
The ABET award follows FAMU’s recent recognition for having the #1 most diverse College of Law in America.
