Programs & Initiatives

Center for Acoustics and Vibration
Dedicated to the understanding of the generation, propagation, and reception of sound and vibration. Of particular interest are development of sonar systems, underwater acoustic communications, ocean acoustic propagation and ambient noise, flow noise, the noise from propellers and turbo machinery, sound radiation from and vibration of flexible elastic structures.

Center for Applied Stochastics Research
Utilizes advanced theories of probability and statistics to study engineering problems, and to a lesser extent, other problems in natural and social sciences.

Center for Coastline Security Technology
Focuses on research, simulation and evaluation of coastal defense and marine domain awareness equipment, sensors and components.  Through the Center, federal agencies, academia and industry come together to solve issues and problems related to coastal security, protection and safety.

Center for Information Networks and Engineering (CINE)
Advances the competitiveness of Florida's information and communications technologies (ICT) industries. The Center participates in and organizes research programs of scale in strategic technologies that are emerging or anticipated in ICT. Equally important, the Center provides ICT industries with a flow of highly skilled R&D personnel and enriches academic programs offered by the College of Engineering and Computer Science through specialized multidisciplinary tracks of study and the facilitation of industry internships for students.

Center for Intermodal Transportation Safety and Security
A state university system-wide project led by FAU and designed to address the potential threat of terrorism affecting the safety and general economic welfare of Florida and its transportation-based infrastructure. The center's primary mission is to support initiatives by the state to protect and encourage the economic vitality of Florida by preventing both terrorism and transportation gridlock. 

Center for Systems Integration
A state-of-the-art center for multidisciplinary research, teaching and training with a component of service and nucleating beneficial economical activities. The Center's focus is on emerging technologies for real-time embedded system modeling, co-design, co-verification and integration.

Imaging Technology Center (ITC)
A teaching and research laboratory specializing in research and development of digital imaging and communications technology including cameras, digital recorders, digital transmission, digital light valve projection and ultrasonic imaging. The ITC includes the Imaging Technology Space Center (ITSC); a NASA Research Partnership Center (established 1991).

Institute of Ocean and Systems Engineering - SeaTech
Provides an environment for advanced engineering research and technology development aimed at solving problems in the ocean. IOSE builds on and complements the academic programs of the Department of Ocean Engineering and forms the means for technology advancement, collaboration with academia, industry, and government, and transition of research products to applications.

Visual Planning Technology Lab
Advances research and knowledge on the application of geospatial and visual planning technologies for public and private sector planning and decision-making.
