INTEL HBCU ECE Partnership

The Intel & FAMU (HBCU) Research, Curriculum & Outreach Programs to increase underrepresented minorities through faculty and student development within FAMU’s Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer Information Sciences (CIS) departments. This cross-disciplinary approach will serve to bring faculty, students, and Intel industry partners together to work on:

​

• Program #1: Research Projects & Expo

• Program #2: Courses/Course Module Development & Implementation

• Program #3: Technical Outreach: FAMU-FSU CoE Collegiate Hackathon

• Program #4: Student Retention: Peer Mentoring & Tutoring

Expanding on the historical collaborative connections between Intel and FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and FAMU Computer Information Sciences (CIS) departments with an increase in providing curriculum and/or course content, technical lab, and research experiments, along with an opportunity to engage more student across various disciplines through a Hackathon. All programs will focus on faculty and student development initiatives that support Intel’s focus areas of:

​

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)

• Internet of Things (IoT)

• Autonomous Vehicles (AV)
