Five Florida A&M University (FAMU) students have been awarded Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowships from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
The Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Program awards fellowships to students pursuing degrees in transportation-related disciplines. This program advances the transportation workforce by helping to attract the nation’s brightest minds to the field of transportation, encouraging future transportation professionals to seek advanced degrees, and helping to retain top talent in the U.S. transportation industry.
For the past decade, the FAMU School of Architecture and Engineering Technology (SAET) Division of Engineering Technology has participated in the program. During that time, more than 30 undergraduate and graduate student fellows have received funding for research in the areas related to transportation.
The five fellowship recipients were selected to present their research at the 100th Annual Transportation Research Board meeting, which attracted more than 20,000 attendees worldwide.
