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.
