When it first opened its doors in 1982, the Florida A&M
University-Florida State University College of Engineering boasted only a
few dozen bright students.
That founding class — made up of just 35 aspiring engineers —
attended classes in borrowed space on both campuses in Tallahassee. Having come a far
way from its early classroom-sharing days, the college celebrated
its 30th anniversary in its sleekly modern state-of-the-art facilities
in Innovation Park.
"We are grateful to all those who contributed over the past 30 years to
get the college to where we are now and look forward to taking full
advantage of our new slogan, 'Two Universities, One College, Twice the
Opportunities,'" said Dean Yaw D. Yeboah. "As we move forward to produce
top-quality, innovative and entrepreneurial graduates and nationally
ranked programs, we also aim to become a force for economic development
locally and in the state."
Over three decades, the college has gained a reputation for its
first-rate faculty and solid academics. It serves more than 2,500
graduate and undergraduate students, and its offerings have expanded to
include a world-class academic program.
Earlier this week, the college held a cake-cutting party to commemorate its founding.
