Welcome to the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering LibGuide

Welcome to the FSU library Engineering research guide. This guide is dedicated to navigating the various engineering databases, journals, and articles provided by Florida State University (FSU) Libraries. Please take a look around. There are many resources available and if you have any questions, your subject librarians are happy to help. Our main STEM Library locations are Dirac Science Library and FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Library. FSU's main library is the Robert M. Strozier Library.
