Paper Application
FIU uses a common institutional application form for all undergraduate programs. This application can be downloaded from http://admissions.fiu.edu. A $30.00 non-refundable application fee (U.S. dollars) made payable to Florida International University must accompany applications submitted.
All credentials and documents submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions become the property of Florida International University. Originals will not be returned to the applicant or forwarded to another institution.
FRESHMAN APPLICANTS
In addition to the application, the following credentials are required:
Official secondary school transcripts and appropriate test scores: Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Test (ACT).
All official transcripts, test scores, and any other required credentials must be received directly from the issuing agencies, and forwarded to P.O. Box 659003, Miami, FL. 33265-9003. It is the applicant’s responsibility to initiate the request for credentials to the issuing agencies and to assure their receipt by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Proof of graduation from an accredited secondary school must be submitted.
Eighteen academic units in college preparatory courses are required as follows:
High School diplomas accepted for undergraduate degree-seeking admission to FIU must be completed at a secondary institution accredited by a regional accrediting body or at an institution accredited by a national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education
English 4

Academic Electives 3
1Two units in the same foreign language are required.
2Academic Electives are from the fields of mathematics, English, natural science, social science, and a foreign language. The academic grade point average will be computed only on the units listed above. Grades in honors courses, International Baccalaureate (IB), and advanced placement (AP) courses will be given additional weight.
Freshman admission decisions are made based on the student’s strong academic preparation. Competition for placement in the freshman class is the result of the quality and extent of the applicant pool.
Students who apply to majors in Theatre and Music, must meet University academic standards and receive the approval of the respective department through an audition. Students should contact the specific department for audition dates.
TRANSFER APPLICANTS
Degree seeking applicants with fewer than 60 semester hours of transfer credits must meet the same requirements as beginning freshmen. In addition, they must demonstrate satisfactory performance in their college work.
Applicants who receive an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree from a Florida Public Community College or State University in Florida will be considered for admission without restriction except for published limited access programs within the University. We encourage all transfer applicants to apply.
Students transferring from independent Florida and out-of-state colleges into the University’s upper division must have maintained a minimum 2.0 grade point average based upon a 4.0 scale.
Coursework transferred or accepted for credit toward an undergraduate degree must be completed at an institution accredited as degree-granting by a regional accrediting body or at an institution accredited as degree granting by a national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education that participates in the statewide course numbering system at the time the coursework was completed. Each academic department reserves the right to determine how transfer credits may be applied to satisfy the specific requirements for the major and/or degree. Students must contact their academic department to obtain any additional requirements needed for their program of study.
All applicants must meet the criteria published for limited access programs and should consult the specific college and major for requirements.
Applicants who meet the above admissions requirements, but have not completed the University’s core curriculum requirements, or the prerequisites of their proposed major, may complete this college work at FIU, or at any other accredited institution. Students may also fulfill general education requirements through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
Official transcripts from all previous post secondary institutions must be forwarded to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Students are responsible for initiating this request.
Transfer applicants from the FL public institutions (community/state colleges) are encouraged to visit FACTS.org for additional information regarding the transfer process, including, but not limited to, program graduation requirements, transfer agreements, A.A. transfer evaluation (degree/advising audit), and common prerequisites (Common Prerequisite Manual).
All students seeking admission to the University regardless of whether the student holds an A.A., must have completed two years of credit in one foreign language at the high school level or 8-10 credits in one foreign language at the college level (American Sign Language is acceptable). If a student is admitted to the University without this requirement, the credits must be completed prior to graduation.
Students who can demonstrate continuous enrollment in a degree program at a SUS institution or Florida Community College since Fall Term 1989 (continuous enrollment is defined by the state to be the completion of at least one course per academic year) can be exempt from this requirement. Students holding an A.A. degree from a Florida Community College or SUS institution prior to Fall Term 1989 will also be exempt.
Students who are applying to majors in Theatre and Music, in addition to meeting university academic standards, must meet the approval of the respective department through an audition. Students should contact the department for audition dates.
Admission decisions will not be made before the application is completed and all supporting documents are on file in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Applications are kept on file for one year from the anticipated entrance date.
Admission to the University is a selective process and satisfying the general requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
LIMITED ACCESS PROGRAMS
A limited access program utilizes selective admission to limit program enrollment. Limited access status is justified where student demand exceeds available resources such as faculty, instructional facilities, equipment, or specific accrediting requirements. Criteria for selective admission include indicators of ability, performance, creativity, or talent to complete required work within the program. Florida community college transfer students with Associate in Arts degrees are given equal consideration with FIU students. Admission to such programs is governed by the Articulation Agreement and the Florida Board of Education rules.
The following FIU programs have been designated as limited access:
Accounting*
Architecture
Business Administration*
Communication*
Dietetics and Nutrition
Health Services Administration*
Hospitality Management*
Music*
Nursing
Social Work*
Theatre*
*Pending 2010 BOG approval
INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS
International student applicants must meet the admission requirements of the University as described in the previous sections and comply with the following:
Academic Records
International University-level Transcripts require a course by course evaluation, with a calculated U.S. equivalent grade point average, through a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) Organization. Click here to visit their website. Official evaluations, along with the international transcript(s) must be forwarded directly to FIU from the evaluation service. One exception to this policy exists: Chinese language transcripts from Tianjin University of Commerce will be evaluated by FIU staff for admission to the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management.
Proficiency in English
Applicants whose native language is not English and who have not taken any college level English courses, must present a minimum score of 500 paper-based and a minimum score of 173 computer-based or a 63 internet based (iBT) minimum score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or a minimum of 3 on the Advanced Placement International English Language Examination (APIEL). IELTS (International English Language Testing System), can also be submitted as proof of English Proficiency. The minimum for the IELTS is 5.0.
Declaration and Certification of Finances
Upon receipt of the application for admission, the Declaration and Certification of Finances will be mailed to the applicant. It must be completed and returned to the Office of Admissions. A Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20A) will be issued once the applicant has been found admissible to the University, and the student has provided the bank/sponsor letter and the transfer release form (International students that are currently attending another U.S. institution must submit this form).
The University is required by immigration authorities to carefully check the financial resources of each applicant prior to issuing the Form I-20A. Therefore, it is important that applicants are aware of the cost of attending the University and have the necessary financial support for the period of enrollment. Applicants should refer to the Annual Estimate of Cost Chart in this catalog.
The total funds available for the student for the first or second academic year, or both, must equal the total estimate of institutional costs and living expenses. All items in the Declaration and Certification of Finances must be accurately answered to avoid unnecessary delay in processing. This document along with proof of sufficient funds must be received by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions two months prior to the anticipated entry date.
Refer to the Annual Estimate of Cost table for more information. A married student should plan on an additional $6,000 in costs to cover the living expenses of a spouse.
A couple with children should anticipate further yearly additional costs of no less than $4,000 for each child.
Medical Insurance
The State of Florida requires that all international students maintain health insurance coverage to help defray the costs in case of catastrophic medical emergency. The policy must provide specific levels of coverage which have been established to ensure that the policy is adequate to provide for costs at U.S. hospitals, usually much higher than costs in many other parts of the world. In addition, a policy must have a claims agent in the United States who may be contacted by medical providers and who facilitates prompt payment of claims. The University has approved a plan which meets the state requirements and which meets the needs of most students; however, a student on F status may select alternate coverage provided it meets the state requirements for minimal coverage. A copy of these requirements is available at International Student and Scholar ServicesOffice. Students are advised not to purchase insurance policies prior to arrival without verifying that the policies meet FIU/State University System (SUS) requirements. Students in J status are required by the United States Information Agency to maintain health insurance coverage for themselves and their dependents for the full length of their program. Florida International University requires students on J status sponsored by FIU to purchase the University approved medical insurance plan for themselves and their dependents. Compliance with the insurance regulation is required prior to registration.
Priority Consideration
Due to the additional processing time required for international students, application and supporting documents should be submitted as early as possible. We recommend the following time frames - February 1st if you are applying for the summer semester, April 1st if you are applying for the fall semester, and September 1st if you are applying for the spring semester.
If the application and supporting documents are not received within the appropriate time, the application for admissions will be considered for the following term.
Tuition
An international student is considered a non-resident and is assessed non-resident fees. Immigration regulations require an international student to attend school each fall and spring semester. An undergraduate student is required to take a minimum of twelve credit hours per semester. Please refer to the section on Student Fees and Student Accounts for more information.
SCHOLARSHIPS
FIU recognizes students who are academically, artistically, and athletically talented and encourages them to apply. The University awards several full and partial scholarships. See Website for detailed scholarship information, http://admissions.fiu.edu.
GRADUATE ADMISSIONS
Florida International University encourages and accepts applications from qualified applicants without regard to sex, physical handicap, national origin, cultural, racial, religious or ethnic background or association.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION INTO GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Applicants to a graduate program of the University must meet the minimum standards set forth by the University and the program. Applicants must check the individual program requirements before submitting their applications.
A student seeking admission into a graduate program offered by the University must have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a regionally accredited institution or, in the case of foreign students, from a well established institution of higher learning that is authorized to grant degrees by appropriate authorities in that country. The applicant must submit official transcripts, test scores and other supporting documents to Florida International University, Graduate Admissions Office, P.O. Box 659004, Miami, FL. 33265-9004. All credentials and documents submitted to the Graduate Admissions Office become the property of Florida International University. Originals will not be returned to the applicant or forwarded to another institution.
In the absence of specific program admission requirements, the applicant should have a minimum of a "B" average in upper level work, or a graduate degree from an accredited institution.
Degree programs individually determine admission requirements with respect to requiring nationally-normed examinations and the required scores. Programs that have not set their own requirements default to the University standard which is that Ph.D. programs require that scores must be at or above the 60th percentile (e.g., 1120 combined Verbal and Quantitative on the GRE or 570 composite on the GMAT) and that master’s degree programs and professional doctoral degree programs require that scores must be at or above the 40th percentile (e.g. 1000 combined Verbal and Quantitative on the GRE or 500 composite on the GMAT).
Admissions at the graduate level are competitive and meeting minimum program requirements does not guarantee admission.
An applicant who fails to meet these criteria may gain admission via an exception to the admissions standards.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Students interested in applying for admission into a graduate degree program or a graduate certificate must submit their applications online by visiting FIU’s website at http://gradschool.fiu.edu for applications and instructions. A $30.00 non-refundable fee (U.S. Dollars) will be charged for each online application.
INACTIVATION PROCESS
Applications are valid for term of application only. Applications, which have not been acted on by the Department or remain incomplete, will be cancelled. Once an application is cancelled, the student will need to submit a new application and application fee in order to reactivate their admissions file.
READMISSION
An admitted degree-seeking student who has not enrolled in any course at the University for three (3) or more consecutive terms, including the summer term will be required to apply for re-admission. (This policy does not apply to students on military withdrawals.) Students applying for readmission must meet the University and program regulations in effect at the time of application for readmission. Applications for readmission are processed the same as an application for initial admission with the exception of submitting documentation already provided as part of the previous application. If the applicant has completed courses in another institution of higher education since the last attendance at FIU, however, transcripts from that institution need to be submitted in addition to the application.
Application Deadlines for Domestic Students
SEMESTER Application Deadline
Fall June 1st
Spring October 1st
Summer March 1st
If the application and supporting documents are not received by the appropriate deadline for the desired term, the applicant will need to submit a new application and fee for the next semester.
Note: Individual programs may have deadlines earlier than the University deadlines. Applicants should check with the program to which they are seeking admission to determine the application deadline.
CONDITIONAL TWO TERM ADMISSION
A graduate program may recommend for conditional admission students whose undergraduate GPA in their upper-level coursework is below 3.00 or GRE score is below the program requirements. Students who have already taken 12 graduate credits at FIU are not eligible for two term conditional admission. Any graduate credit (fewer than 12) already taken will be counted towards satisfying the conditional admission.
Students admitted under a two term conditional admission are required to: achieve a GPA of 3.25 or higher for the first 12 graduate-level credits and complete these 12 credits within first two consecutive semesters, beginning with the term of admission.
TRANSFER OF GRADUATE CREDIT FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS
Doctoral programs may accept up to 20% of the required total coursework, subject to approval of the Program Director, of graduate credit earned from another institution beyond a bachelor’s degree. An exception is made for courses contained within an earned master’s or doctoral degree. For such courses, the maximum is one fewer than half of the total credits required for the program.
Master’s degree programs may accept up to 20% of the required total coursework, subject to approval of the Program Director, of graduate credit earned from another institution beyond a bachelor’s degree.
Education Specialist students are treated in the same manner as Master’s Degree students.
Acceptance of transfer credits for a course is dependent upon the following provisions:
a. the student received a grade of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale
b. the course was taken at an accredited institution
c. the course was relevant, as judged by the admissions committee of the department or program, to the graduate program in which the student is accepted
d. the course is listed on an official transcript received by the Graduate Admissions Office
e. the course will not be older than six years at the time of receipt of a master’s degree or nine years at the time of receipt of a doctoral degree (does not apply to credits earned as part of a completed graduate degree program)
Note: Students are advised to verify this information with the appropriate Graduate Program Director.
ACADEMIC RECORDS
Official transcripts must be sent directly from each previous institution to the Graduate Admissions Office. Documents in a language other than English must be translated by an official translation agency. Notarized translations are not acceptable.
ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Foreign graduate applicants are accepted subject to space and fiscal limitations. In addition to the general University admissions requirements, foreign applicants must be academically eligible for further graduate study in their own country. Applicants from non-English speaking countries must demonstrate proficiency in the English language by presenting a minimum score of 80 on the iBT TOEFL (equivalent to 550 on the paper-based version of the Test of English as a Foreign Language) or 6.5 overall on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). However, some departments may require higher scores. Applicants who hold an undergraduate or graduate degree from an institution within the United States or other English speaking countries are not required to submit TOEFL scores. The applicant must check the individual departmental requirements. For TOEFL information, visit the following URL: http://www.toefl.org/.
International student applicants must meet all the admission requirements of the University as described in the previous sections and also comply with the following:

Undergraduate Admission Preparation
Prospective students who are considering engineering should follow an academic program to meet engineering prerequisites. The student planning to transfer to the engineering program as a junior should follow a pre-engineering program in the first two years of college work. Many courses required by the engineering curriculum are specialized in their content and students need to select lower division courses with care. The normal maximum number of credits transferred from a community college is 60 semester credits.
Freshman admission to the University is determined by the admission standards of the lower division. The admitted freshmen should discuss their future program intentions with their lower division academic advisor and plan their lower level course selections towards their engineering program goals. The freshman should have had high school preparation of considerable depth and breadth. Specifically, students admitted to the lower division interested in engineering should have preparation in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytical geometry, or pre-calculus) and chemistry. Physics and introduction to computers are recommended, but not required. Admitted freshmen students planning to major in an engineering program should contact an advisor in their respective discipline as early as possible.
Graduate Admission Requirements
Prospective students seeking a graduate degree in the College must satisfy all university admission requirements as well as the specific program requirements. Each department evaluates candidates for admission to its programs

Undergraduate
Admissions/Transfers
Undergraduate Admission to the College of Engineering
Engineering Admission Policy
The admission policy for freshmen and transfer students are different and the policies may vary in each department. (Refer to the Admission Policy in the department of your choice.)
FIU Freshmen
Students seeking admission to an undergraduate degree program will be admitted by the Admissions Office if the following criteria are met:
a. All general admission requirements of the University are satisfied.
b. In order to be admitted into upper division Engineering, a student must earn a grade of ‘C’ or higher in all Calculus courses, Differential Equations, Physics I with Calculus, Physics II with Calculus, and Chemistry I. Consult the department for details.
Transfer Students
All transfer students must meet the general University requirement for admission and must achieve the competencies of the CLAS requirement. There is a two step process in the evaluation of transfer credits.
a. The Office of Admissions will make a preliminary evaluation of the student’s background for general compliance and determination of applicable Core Curriculum courses taken.
b. The specific department will determine the exact transfer of applicable credit. The departmental evaluation is the final word in this matter.
c. FIU adheres to the Board of Education Articulation Agreement between the Universities and Community Colleges of the State of Florida. Therefore, transfer of credit from Florida Community Colleges is facilitated.
Preference is given to Associate of Arts degree holders from Florida Community Colleges. For holders of other degrees, it is suggested that application is made about three months prior to the beginning of the term.
Undergraduate Admission to an Engineering Department
Each department has an academic advisor to counsel students on their entrance requirements as well as course selections. The corresponding academic advisor can provide additional information or answer any questions on the admissions process.
Entrance Requirements for Foreign Students
The TOEFL is required of all applicants whose native language is not English. The TOEFL is given worldwide. There is a fee for the examination. A 500 paper-based or a 173 computer-based or a 63 internet-based (iBT) minimum score is required for all undergraduate programs. The following exceptions apply:
1. Applicants who completed 4 years of high school in the United States or other English-speaking countries.
2. Applicants who hold an undergraduate or graduate degree from an institution within the United States or other English-speaking countries
Academic Records
International High School/Secondary School Transcripts need to be sent directly from your high school in a sealed envelope to:
Florida International University
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
P.O. Box 659003
Miami, FL 33265-9003
USA
If your transcripts are not in English, you will also need to submit an official translation of your transcript
Declaration and Certification of Finances
Upon receipt of the application for admission, the Declaration and Certification of Finances will be mailed to the applicant. It must be completed and returned to the Office of Admissions. Once completed please print it and mail it in. A Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20) will be issued once the applicant has been found admissible to the University and the Declaration and Certification of Finances has been approved.The University is required by immigration authorities to check carefully the financial resources of each applicant prior to issuing the Form I-20. Therefore, it is important that applicants are aware of the cost of attending the University and have the necessary support funds for the period of enrollment. Applicants should refer to the Annual Estimate of Cost Chart. The total funds available for the student for the first or second academic year, or both, must equal the total estimate of institutional costs and living expenses. All items in the Declaration and Certification of Finances must be accurately answered to avoid unnecessary delay in processing. This document along with proof of sufficient funds must be received by the Office of Admissions two months prior to the anticipated entry date.
Residency Requirements
Florida statute requires the claimant (the person claiming residency) to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien student or the dependent student’s parent/legal guardian. The student or guardian “resident” must have established and maintained a legal Florida residence for at least 12 months before the first day of the semester for which in-state status is sought.
In-state status is only for those residents who reside in the state permanently with established legal domicile in Florida. Permanent Florida residency is demonstrated by the absence of ties to any other state. An out-of-state permanent address on pertinent records is not indication of established legal domicile in Florida.Permanent residence is evaluated for the domicile year associated with the initial term of entry to FIU or the term for which you are seeking reclassification. A copy of a federal income tax return substantiating residency and dependent or independent student status will be required.
Students are either dependent or independent. In rare cases, a student may qualify for temporary in-state status by qualifying under an exception category.
Admissions Requirements for Transfer Students
To transfer to FIU, applicants must submit the following information to the Office of Admissions:
1. Applications
2. Transcripts: Electronic or official printed transcripts from all post-secondary institutions must be submitted to the Office of Admissions.
3. Additional Requirements: Students with less than 60 transferable academic credits must also submit their secondary school transcripts and official copies of SAT or ACT scores (also applicable to international students).

Admissions Information
Graduate Admission to the College of Engineering
Prospective students seeking a graduate degree in the College must satisfy all university admission requirements as well as the specific program requirements. Each department evaluates candidates for admission to its programs. Prospective students should refer to the appropriate section of the catalog for specific admission requirements and for contact information of the Graduate Programs Directors.
Graduate Admission to an Engineering Department
Each department has its own specific requirements which a student must meet for admission to that department's graduate program. Students are recommended to consult their prospective Graduate Program Director for specific departmental requirements. General requirements for the MS degree includes a BS in engineering or equivalent area, a 3.0 GPA, and 1000 (if applicable) or better on the GRE. General requirements for the Ph.D. degree includes an MS in engineering or equivalent area, a 3.0/3.3 GPA, and 1120/1150 or better on the GRE.
Entrance Requirements for Foreign Students
Applicants with foreign educational credentials in a language other than English must provide a translation from a recognized translation agency or official translator. The Graduate Admissions Office, as part of the admissions process, evaluates foreign credentials internally at no cost to the applicant.
Applicants from non-English speaking countries must demonstrate proficiency in the English language by presenting a minimum score of 80 on the iBT TOEFL (equivalent to 550 on the paper-based version of the Test of English as a Foreign Language) or 6.5 overall on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
Transcripts need to be sent directly from previous institution in a sealed envelope to Florida International University.
Documents in a language other than English must be translated by an official translation agency.
Applicants will need to submit the Declaration and Certification of Finances (DCF) form. The University is required by immigration authorities to carefully check the financial resources of each applicant prior to issuing the Form I-20. Therefore, it is important that applicants are aware of the cost of attending the University and have the necessary support funds for the period of enrollment.
Residency Requirements
Florida statute requires the claimant (the person claiming residency) to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien student or the dependent student’s parent/legal guardian. The student or guardian “resident” must have established and maintained a legal Florida residence for at least 12 months before the first day of the semester for which in-state status is sought.
In-state status is only for those residents who reside in the state permanently with established legal domicile in Florida. Permanent Florida residency is demonstrated by the absence of ties to any other state. An out-of-state permanent address on pertinent records is not indication of established legal domicile in Florida.
Permanent residence is evaluated for the domicile year associated with the initial term of entry to FIU or the term for which student is seeking reclassification. A copy of a federal income tax return substantiating residency and dependent or independent student status will be required.

The following text was offered to each school as a guideline for the calculation of externally-funded research expenditures:
Include all expenditures associated with grants and contracts specifically budgeted for externally sponsored research and associated programs and expenditures associated with all gifts auditably used for research. Include expended funds provided by the following external sources:
- Federal Government
- State Government
- Foreign Governments
- Industry
- Non-Profit Organizations (e.g. foundations)
- Individuals
- Local Government
The expenditures reported should be only those funds provided by organizations, agencies, and individuals external to the institution. Cost sharing/matching funds should be included only if provided from sources external to the institution.
Only State government funds that were obtained competitively or as matching funds associated with other externally funded programs should be included. State funds that are part of the normal operating budget should not be included regardless of purpose.
For all joint or contracted projects or sub-projects, only the portion of the center research performed by faculty, staff, and students of the affiliated engineering school should be credited to that school. Expenditures for capital costs of research laboratory building construction should not be included.
Expenditures for research laboratory renovations should not be included unless the renovation funds expended came from grants and contracts expressly intended for the direct support of engineering research.
Any portion of academic year and/or summer salary for any researcher that is not derived from external research grants or contracts should not be counted.
Total #: Report total number of individual grants, not the total dollar amount of the expenditures.
Expenditures: Report actual expenditures (as opposed to authorization amounts) in U.S. dollars.

Nanotechnology engineering- Civil and Environmental Engineering
Every day, tens of thousands of cars pass on each of South Florida�s highways and bridges; people are dependent on traffic lights to guide them through busy intersections in rush hour; and thousands of workers trust their safety in the hands of those who plan their office buildings in a safe manner. Have you ever asked yourself who design these systems and structures? Civil engineers do!
At the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, the home of the fastest growing transportation engineering program in the country, we train future engineers to plan, design, construct, operate, and manage buildings, bridges, highways, mass transit systems, airports, seaports, and treatment facilities with the sight of future technologies, environmental responsibility, and the globalization of markets in our eyes.
Close proximity to the active markets in South America and the booming South Florida economy, and individual interaction between our faculty and students have helped us graduate more Hispanic civil engineers than any other program.
Interagency agreements with Miami-Dade County to improve traffic problems that hit the congested arteries of South Florida have proved themselves vital in the development of highly skilled professionals.
Our student chapters are continually ranked at the top in national and international competitions; most recently, our student chapter was awarded the 2001 International Best Student Chapter Award at the ITE annual meeting in Tampa, Florida.
In future years, through the vision, dedication, and cooperation of our students, staff, and faculty, we will make one step at a time toward becoming the best civil engineering department in the country.- Computing and Information Sciences

The Advanced Materials Engineering Research Institute (AMERI) provides an open access equipment infrastructure to support materials research and engineering over a broad range of technology and capabilities. The institute provides analytical instrumentation, materials characterizaation, and process development laboratories to support faculty and industry in the development and characterization of new materials over the continuum from the nanoscale to bulk materials.
Materials Sciences and Engineering is a dynamic field involved in the synthesis, structure, properties and performance of materials. Advanced materials are the foundation of manufactured products and many of the technological advances of this century were enabled by the development of new materials. Materials Science and Engineering is a graduate program only, with undergraduate electives offered in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum to prepare the student for graduate education in materials science and engineering. The academic program offers specialization in metallurgy, ceramics, electronic materials and polymers and Biomaterials. There is an increasing demand for graduates of materials science and engineering, with high technology industries leading the need for graduates. In fact, many companies needing materials scientist and engineers did not exist 20 years ago. Because everything is made of materials and new materials, such as NanoMaterials, are rapidly being developed, materials science and engineering is a growth field in engineering.- Cardiovascular Engineering Center
The Cardiovascular Engineering Center (CVEC) focuses on basic and applied research on the role of mechanical phenomena in the development and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Current research projects in the center range from the analysis of mechanical forces on cellular biology to the development of devices for minimally invasive treatment of heart valves and arteries.
Funding for these projects has come from industry, government agencies and private foundations. The structure of CVEC is configured so that a permanent base of expertise remains intact to address the short time scales of industrial research. This principle allowed for several of the largest device manufacturers from around the country - Cordis�, Boston Scientific, and Medtronic, to conduct research in CVEC�s laboratories.
The education of the next generation of industry engineers is a high priority at CVEC. Students at all levels are included in research projects, providing them with invaluable experience and industry contacts. Many of these students have benefited from this training by obtaining excellent positions in the industry.
CVEC�s clinical partnerships include the three largest hospitals in South Florida, Baptist, Mount Sinai, and Jackson Memorial, as well as clinical sites in England and France. These partnerships play a significant role in driving the research directly toward clinical application.

The vision of the NSF-CATE center at FIU is to foster a cross-disciplinary research and educational program as a catalyst for out undergraduates and graduates alike to train and develop their creative/thinking by bringing in synergy the fields of applied information processing, human/brain computer interfaces, and neuroscience. In the merging of these technologies, we see a productive ground for the development of new methodologies and scientific discovery that (1) will meet the impending needs in a neuroscience as we elicit both the functional mapping of the brain, and the casuality of key brain disorders; and (2) perform Human-Computer Interface (HCI) research that address effectively the issue of Universal Accessibility, focusing on visual impairment and motor disability. Applied information processing (in relation to analysis and interpretation of signals and images), neuroscience (in terms of brain functional mapping and neurorhabilitation and cognitive issues), and human/brain computer interface research (as assistive or augmentative real-time systems) are inextricably linked. New developments in the field of applied information procesing may yield new insight into key physiological aspects of neuroscience, which in turn, can elicit new research directions and new theoretical developments in suport of system design with augmented viability in human/brain computer interfaces. The interplay between science and engineering isa hence at its best by bringing together new theoretical findings into tht practical realms of medical science. Experimental results, as observed through clinical means or through system design evalutations and feasibility studies serve as a means to redefine or reevaluate our theoretical ppremises; just as learning more aout the workings of the human brain will serve to spawn theories that expand our potential for new scientific/engineering discovery..

South Florida�s distinction as a multi-cultural, multi-lingual region has long been a diverse source of talent for FIU, in general, and the College of Engineering, in particular. In response to the challenge of attracting this diverse community, the College of Engineering has created the Center for Diversity in Engineering.
Through its various K-16 programs, the Center for Diversity in Engineering is able to retain and increase the talent flow from the entire Miami-Dade County into the College of Engineering.
By building sound foundation in sciences and mathematics, the Center helps preparing young students to deal with the rigors of higher-level education in general, and engineering education in particular.
Creating better opportunities for its graduates is the goal for the Center for Diversity in Engineering. It is through nationally acclaimed programs such as Gear-Up! and the Science and Mathematics Teacher Training that the center has been able to graduate students into the best institutions in the country such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard.
These are only two examples of the programs the Center For Diversity in Engineering is currently engaged in. Its value for Florida International University and the entire Miami-Dade community is priceless. With the Center, we help those, who otherwise would not have equal access to the Engineering profession, get a pass to a brighter future.
