TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Shari M. Briggs, a Florida A&M University – Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) mechanical engineering master’s student, won the Best Oral Presentation Award for her address, “Heat Transfer in a Spherical Solid,” at the 20th Undergraduate Research Symposium in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
For two consecutive years, a member of the FAMU team under the direction of mechanical engineering professor, Carl Moore Jr., Ph.D. and mathematics professor, Desmond Stephens, Ph.D., has won a top spot for oral presentation.
“I am thrilled that Shari’s research has been recognized,” said Moore. “Many students graduate without ever entering, not to mention winning, a technical presentation award. This is a great accomplishment for Shari and a testament to her hard work in FAMU’s graduate engineering program.”
The symposium provides an opportunity for minority science, technology, engineering and mathematics undergraduate and graduate students to compete in the presentation of their research experiences. This year, more than 300 students attended from 35 universities.
