To the Florida Tech Class of 2026, youāve worked hard, aimed high, and now itās time to take on the world.
This isnāt goodbye, but the beginning of your journey as a Florida Tech alumni.
āAs you commence this new stage of your life, remember to embrace your strengths even as you seek to build and develop new areas and face new challenges. Be open to experiences, even if they are uncomfortable. Seek growth in your personal life and in your work life.
And never forget you are a Florida Tech Panther for life. You have earned that honor and it is yours forever. Be proud of your school as we will remain proud to call you alumni,ā said President Nicklow.
Congratulations, graduates!

232 student projects. Countless hours of work. Big ideas proudly shared.
The 2026 Northrop Grumman Engineering & Science Student Design Showcase gave Florida Tech students the spotlight to show what theyāre capable ofāfrom groundbreaking research to creative problemāsolving that reaches beyond the classroom.

A team of mechanical and aerospace engineering students are developing MATEAR, a rover designed to manufacture building materials directly on the Moon using lunar regolith.
MATEARāshort for Moon Adaptive Technology for Extraterrestrial Architectural Roboticsāis designed to excavate regolith, compact and heat it to extreme temperatures, and form solid bricks that could be used to construct lunar infrastructure before astronauts ever arrive.
The team aims to reduce the high cost and logistical challenges of transporting materials from Earth, while demonstrating scalable technologies that could also support future missions to Mars.
Aerospace engineering student design team ARGOS is developing a system to simulate satellite motion and support future space debris mitigation efforts.
As the number of satellites in orbit continues to growāand many reach the end of their operational lifeāfinding ways to identify, capture, and repurpose unresponsive satellites is becoming increasingly important. ARGOS, which stands for Advanced Robotic Gimbal and Orbital Simulator, is a modular, three-degree-of-freedom mock satellite and test stand designed to realistically recreate satellite motion in space.
Through realistic modeling, modular design, and collaboration with faculty research, the ARGOS team is contributing to long-term solutions for reducing space debris and improving orbital sustainability.
