For researchers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering this isn't just a sci-fi vision, it's the future. For the past two years, these researchers have been competing in a problem solving competition for the development of miniature, self-deploying systems in cluttered and confined environments.

It is one of those rare events in academic life where a concept from a lab is successfully tested in a full-scale application. This is what makes engineering research fun and rewarding. The entire concept was developed at FSU with FSU Mechanical Engineering graduate, Dr. Brent Greska playing a significant role Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.eng.fsu.edu/shared/news/article.html?s=fcaap_symposium Following the momentous voyage of the space shuttle Discovery last week from the Space Coast to the Space Museum, many were saddened to see a high point of U.S. engineering and technical ingenuity fly off into retirement. Recognizing the huge vacuum that would be left in its wake, Florida has been busy charting a new flight plan for the industry through the one-of-a-kind Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP), headquartered at Florida State University.
