The Florida Gulf Coast University hosts a biannual expo for prospective students to have an inside look at what is offered at the university. The Eagle EXPO is a wonderful opportunity for current students to share their experiences with prospective students. This opportunity allows for future students to ask questions and understand the academics, the experiences and the overall life as an Eagle at Florida Gulf Coast University. Each student attending the university has their own experience to express to these potential students taking the campus tours. This time which allows us, as current Eagles, to interact with these students and give them our experience, gives them proper preparation that they would not be able to access anywhere else.<br />
<br />
Eagle EXPO in the engineering department is far different from anything one could ever experience. The four floors in the Engineering building have distinct laboratories for each of the four engineering disciplines offered at Florida Gulf Coast University. Each floor truly conveys a few of the amazing labs each discipline conducts under their curriculum through their core engineering principles. Florida Gulf Coast University’s engineering department offers more than just the required curriculum, they offer actual labs pertaining to the real world in preparation for life after graduation. As seen in the video, prospective students are able to see the hands-on experience that each and every student attending Florida Gulf Coast University partakes in multiple times throughout their tenure here. The Faculty and Staff of Florida Gulf Coast University take the time and commitment to make sure every experience is unique and allows students to be adequately prepared for life after graduation. <br />

It is a culmination of years of planning that has often been slowed down by a wavering economy.<br />
<br />
Tuesday, FGCU officials including Simmons rejoiced as state and local leaders broke ground on the future site of the Emergent Technologies Institute.<br />
<br />
"It's an outreach from the university to the community and to the local industry and this gives us a place from which to do that," Simmons said.<br />
<br />
The facility - which is being constructed on six and half acres northeast of the main campus - is being labeled as the anchor of the Innovation Hub.<br />
<br />
The 240-acre development, FGCU President Wilson Bradshaw says, will be geared toward businesses specializing in environmental sustainability and renewable energy.<br />
<br />
"It's not only a cornerstone but it's going to be a magnet for other businesses and related industries to relocate here," said Bradshaw.<br />
<br />
The ETI itself is projected to cost around $12.5 million paid for by the state through efforts of the Florida Legislature and Governor Rick Scott.<br />
<br />
"It's a good investment on the state's behalf and if folks consider me a champion for that, it's something I'll be very proud of," said Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto.<br />
<br />
State leaders say with a focus on the emergent technologies, the facility could also be breaking ground in other areas.<br />
<br />
"The utilization of new technologies in that arena, I think that's going to be focus here and that's very exciting because I don't think that exists anywhere else in state," Benacquisto said.<br />
<br />
The facility is set to open at the end of this year on an expanding a campus that continues to make a name for itself.<br />
