Awards

A diverse team led by three ECE Florida faculty members is set to receive funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to design and fabricate dynamic pressure sensors capable of performing at temperatures upwards of 800 °C (1472 °F), over a factor of 6X higher than any integrated pressure sensor currently in use. The $6.6M project, funded as part of the DARPA 

IMG Professor, Dr. David Arnold, was recently awarded the HWCOE Faculty Leadership Award! This award recognizes faculty excellence in leadership, and those who go above and beyond in representing the values of our college. Congratulations, Dr. Arnold!
