The Council of Engineering Graduate Students (CEGS) hosted its second annual Graduate Engineering Research Showcase (GERS) in October. The event, held in the Shelby Center’s courtyards, promoted engineering scholarship, professionalism and interdisciplinary research, and provided an opportunity to introduce new graduate students to the culture of engineering graduate programs. Nearly […]
Imagine presenting hours of research in only three minutes. Auburn University graduate students competed this summer to present their research within that time limit as part of the university’s first Three Minute Thesis competition. Students were judged on communication style, comprehension and engagement with the audience, as well as their […]
Julia Bower Green, ’05 and ’07 civil engineering, has been named one of 10 New Faces of Civil Engineering by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The award highlights the achievement of young civil engineers and their impact on society. Green will be honored at ASCE’s annual Outstanding Projects […]
A “stepping stone to full-time employment” is the perfect way to describe the experience three Auburn students gained through the summer student-employee program at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Twenty-five students, including Auburn engineers Patrick Berry, Logan Brost and Travis Wheeler, had the experience of a lifetime working for SAIC […]
Elizabeth Lipke, faculty member in the Department of Chemical Engineering, has received a five-year, $400,000 grant through the National Science Foundation’s prestigious Faculty Early CAREER Development Program for her research designing engineered cardiac tissue and developing cardiac regeneration techniques. “Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the […]
Auburn Engineering alumnus Samuel Ginn, ‘59 industrial management and namesake of the college, has been appointed to lead a 15-member board of the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet).
