TABLE OF CONTENTS


FAU is a member of the State University System of Florida. It was established in 1961 and declared officially open in 1964 by Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th President of the United States. FAU is serving a record-high student body of 29,000 undergraduate and graduate students, who are taking classes on the University’s seven campus and sites. FAU’s distributed campus structure was developed to best meet the institutional mission of providing public access to higher education along with the necessary support services to an unusually large service area comprising six counties spread over 100 miles along Florida’s southeast coast.

FAU has campuses located in Boca Raton, Dania Beach (SeaTech), Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Pierce, Jupiter and Port St. Lucie. The central administration of the University is headquartered on the Boca Raton campus, the oldest and largest FAU location. Academically, the University is organized into ten colleges:

• Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine • Charles E. Schmidt College of Science• Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing• College for Design and Social Inquiry • College of Business• College of Education• College of Engineering and Computer Science• Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters• Graduate College• Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College

Through these colleges, FAU offers more than 170 degree programs and both faculty and student researchers are at work in more than 40 research centers and institutes dedicated to specific disciplines and areas of investigation. The College of Engineering and Computer Science houses many of these centers.

FAU is taking its place among the world’s great research centers and has been designated a “High Research Activity” university by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. FAU faculty members won funding grants totaling more than $43.2 million in 2010-11.

The field of ocean engineering was pioneered at FAU, which established the country’s first such academic program in 1965. Now augmented by the highly advanced SeaTech research center in Dania Beach, it remains one of the best programs of its kind internationally. FAU is also the home of the Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center, a federally funded research facility that is developing technology to generate energy by harnessing the power of Florida’s ocean currents.

The FAU Research Park, on 77 acres of the Boca Raton campus, provides business with a fundamental connection to FAU faculty and students. The park also assists the University in developing synergistic efforts in research; all while providing employment opportunities for students.

The Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute is dedicated to exploration, innovation, conservation and education related to our oceans.

The newly created Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine has received preliminary accreditation and welcomed its first class of future physicians in Fall 2011.

Additionally, the University presents hundreds of cultural and educational events every year to engage members of the outside community.

FAU is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, specialist’s and doctoral degrees.

Interdisciplinary areas of research involving Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering include infrastructure safety and security, intermodal transportation network security, hurricane resistant infrastructure, fiber reinforced polymer composites for bridges, artificial intelligence applications, smart materials and structures.

CENTER FOR INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATIONSAFETY AND SECURITYDirector – Panagiotis “Pete” D. Scarlatos, Ph.D.MissionThe Center for Intermodal Transportation Safety and Security is a state university system-wide project led by FAU and designed to address the po-tential threat of terrorism affecting the safety and general economic welfare of Florida and its transportation-based infrastructure. The center’s primary mission is to support initiatives by the state to protect and encourage the economic vitality of Florida by preventing both terrorism and transporta-tion gridlock. This project includes Florida’s 1,197-mile coastline and exist-ing maritime facilities, airspace and airports, telecommunications, surface transportation and subsurface systems such as pipelines.


RESEARCH CENTERS/INSTITUTES (cont.)

CENTER FOR MARINE MATERIALSDirector – Richard Granata, Ph.D.MissionThe Center for Marine Materials is dedicated to 1) understanding the mechanisms whereby materials deteriorate in marine environments, 2) developing means for reducing and preventing such deterioration, and 3) promoting transfer of developed technologies for integrity retention to the private sector. Although corrosion of materials in marine environments has been estimated to cost approximately one percent of the GNP per annum, the Center is the only stand-alone academic unit in the country that focuses exclusively upon marine materials.

CENTER FOR MARINE STRUCTURES AND GEOTECHNIQUEDirector – Dronnadula V. Reddy, Ph.D.MissionThe Center enhances the research (basic and applied) activities and industry relations in the Structures, Geotechnical, Geoenvironmental and Materials areas.

The Center’s focus is on emerging technologies for real-time embedded system modeling, co-design, co-verification and integration. The Center is envisioned to provide a collaborative environment that induces individual performance and rewards excellence for both University and industry participants, and to contribute to a research and development infrastructure in South Florida.

15Research Centers/Institutes

INSTITUTE FOR OCEAN AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERINGDirector – Manhar R. Dhanak, Ph.D.MissionThe mission of IOSE is to provide an environment for advanced engineering research and technology development aimed at solving problems in the ocean. IOSE builds on and complements the academic programs of the Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering and forms the means for technology advancement, collaboration with academia, industry and government, and transition of research products to applications.

SOUTHEAST NATIONAL MARINE RENEWABLE ENERGY CENTERExecutive Director – Sue SkempMissionIt is widely accepted that the nation, and indeed, the world, must work toward ending its dependence on fossil fuels and move toward a diversified and reliable energy portfolio that includes all possible renewable energy resources. This is particularly important for the State of Florida, which imports virtually all of its fuels. The Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center (SNMREC) at Florida Atlantic University seeks to advance the science and technology of recovering energy from the oceans’ renewable resources in an economically viable and environmentally responsible manner, with special emphasis on those resources available to the southeast U.S.
