📰 #FAMUNews More than 20 undergraduate students are spending their summer immersed in hands-on, faculty-led research at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering as part of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, funded by a $1 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant.

The REU, part of the NSF’s HBCU-UP RISE initiative, is a competitive 12-week program that provides STEM and engineering students—particularly those from overlooked institutions and backgrounds—with real-world research experience in advanced scientific fields. Students are placed in various labs across the Innovation Park campus, including the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the Interdisciplinary Research Building and other high-tech facilities. 

“This is often the first time many of our students are experiencing what it’s like to do research,” said Jamel Ali, Ph.D., co-principal investigator on the NSF grant and a faculty member in the College of Engineering. “They’re not just learning in a classroom—they’re working on real problems, exploring new technologies, and developing skills that can shape their academic and professional futures.”
