SUCCEED was formed in 2018, in conjunction with the STEM Transformation Institute, as the first engineering and computing education department at a minority-serving institution.
The school was created in alignment with the university’s vision to be a “leading urban public research university focused on student learning, innovation, and collaboration.” Faculty within the school, along with students and staff, seek to connect research and innovation with student learning through collaboration with other members of the college and FIU as a whole. In particular, SUCCEED faculty research and promote evidence-based approaches that broaden participation and improve the educational success for all current and future engineering and computer science students at FIU and beyond.
