When it comes to guarding the coast, an Auburn Engineer like Andrew Kauffman is who you'll want the most. 

The National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence recently got a little more excellent, thanks to land of opportunity-loving Elham Mirkoohi. So get your ears on and prepare to be schooled in AI and machine learning's new role in process-structure-property relationships and convergence manufacturing and all sorts of other words. You down with PSP? Oh boy is she...

Ready for the best day of your life? Well, former Auburn basketbrawler and 1986 Auburn industrial engineering graduate Gary Godfrey certainly is. Diagnosed with ALS in 2019, the only man Charles Barkley ever feared has spent the past three years preaching positivity with a rare perspective on living life to the fullest. Which is what he's doing every day with the help of his better half, and fellow 1986 Auburn industrial engineering alum, Carol. The latest example? Getting back on a bike in time for the annual Bo Bikes Bama charity event courtesy an Auburn Engineering senior design team that raced to build a custom ride for an Auburn Man who won't be denied.

Brad Christopher, ’91 and ’93 civil engineering, president of LBYD Engineers, may be the newest chair of the Auburn Alumni Engineering Council. But he's always been our chairman of... The Board. 

Listen as we lob softball questions to freshman mechanical engineering super slugger Bri Ellis on the latest episode of the award-winning #GINNing Podcast. 

iRacing.... is it blinking your eyes as fast as you can? A staring contest? Or virtually revving your engine like the big boys for an endurance test that apparently can literally break your wrists. You're not going to have to hold on for one more day to find out what Austin Wilson and Austin Phillips have to say about it. 

 Auburn chemical engineering doctoral candidate Mohammadjafar Hashemi's  tissue engineering research is helping to further medicine’s understanding of diabetes' often deadly impact on human heart function. As Wilford Brimley would say, it's the right thing to do. 

From catwalks to spacewalks. From wearing the crown to touching down. From Miss Hoover to Miss—ion Control, PoSSUM-loving Auburn ISE junior Jordan Carraway is ready to launch. 

Well, it turns out space wasn't the final frontier for Chris Crumbly, at least not under the banner of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That's right, after 27 years at NASA, this multi-degree Auburn aerospace maestro went full private sector, savoring every last drop of Auburn's engineering nectar. 

"Amaya engineer? Absolutely."Listen to civil and environmental engineering sophomore Amaya De La Cruz discuss representation in STEM on the latest episode of the best podcast in all of higher education.

Scarborough. Jon Scarborough. This clay-killing, aerospace professor-sired senior is drawing a bead on life as an industrial and systems engineer. Want to learn more? PULL.

From wake boards to cosmic possums, Hannah Bartels is totally awesome. Find out why this biosystems-loving Brookie leans into every engineering challenge that comes her way. 

The helicopters need to shut up already, and Umberto Saetti is just the man to ensure they do.  

Listen to aerospace engineering senior Allison Timm discuss her hopes, her dreams and her dad. Oh, and her brother.  

Hey, you can only gain so much in Gainesville. We know that. Thankfully, for Kyle Schulze, Auburn Engineering was willing to imports them jorts, which has allowed the assistant professor in mechanical engineering to pursue everything he loved about Auburn's mission in more ways than one. 

Auburn chemical engineering freshman Sarah Kate Sligh has cerebral palsy. And a national swimming record. And a YouTube channel. And a spot on Auburn's wheelchair tennis team. And a bid from Delta Gamma. And the honor of being the latest guest on the best podcast in all of higher education. And better grades than her mom.

While other institutions were feelin' the 2020 pain, Steve Taylor was making it rain. Yessir, the Bluegrass-born, biosystems-bred associate dean of research has helped raise Auburn Engineering's research reputation to the tune of a record $76 million in new contracts and awards... during a pandemic. You wanna achieve? Then you want a Steve. 

Chemical engineering sophomore Anya McDaniel muses over the magic happening inside Auburn Engineering's new makerspace. 

Studying pedals and earning medals — that's what Jeff Lamondia does. The associate professor of civil and environmental engineering knows more the most about the rocky relationship between cyclists and motorists. And trust us when we say that there ain't nothing pedestrian about his research into pedestrians. Ready to share the road?
