Engineering Student Lands FSU IDEA Grant for Novel 3-D Chip Tech to Fight Cardiovascular Disease. 🫀 | FAMU-FSU College of Engineering
JP Romero, a biomedical engineering student at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, was recently awarded an FSU IDEA grant from the Center for Undergraduate Research and Engagement (CRE).
“Conventional 3D printing techniques can hinder the efficiency and precision of chips used for screening,” Romero said. “By using fluid mechanic principles, we can improve the smoothness and precision of the 3D-printed surfaces of the chips.”
The IDEA grant gives Romero a $1,000 stipend to perform research over the summer. He will have the chance to be featured in the FSU President’s Showcase of Undergraduate Research Excellence in October.

FAMU-FSU COE to add new graduate degrees in aerospace engineering beginning fall 2025. 👨✈️✈️ | Tal Dem
The curricula for the future aerospace engineering programs will include topics such as fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, fluid-structure interactions and flow control.
The master's program will focus on experiential learning and industry collaboration, while the doctoral program will foster research excellence within the aerospace engineering discipline and industry.
Dean Suvranu De has a goal of becoming one of the top 50 engineering colleges in the nation within the next five years
The joint college between Florida State University and FAMU, located in Innovation Park, is the only shared school of engineering in the nation.
