Gators -vs- Noles Meeting

We had a great turnout for our 3rd annual presentation by representatives from the University of Florida and the FAMU-FSU Colleges of Engineering.

Ms. Karen Bray, the transfer advisor from UF, gave a short presentation showing videos of some student projects and an overview of the different programs offered at UF. She also distributed information about those programs and answered questions about the transfer process, scholarships, and their transfer mentor program.

Prof. Shih, the chairman of the Mechanical Engineering program at FAMU-FSU, also addressed the same questions and described the differences between the programs available at UF and the ones available at the FAMU-FSU college. Both emphasized the importance of picking a field because you enjoy working hard on those kinds of problems, not because of pay levels of today's job market. There are easier majors if you just want to make money.

There were also a number of comments from others present, both current FSU students and an FSU engineering alumnus (Doug Windham) who is now on the TCC math faculty.
