From the desk of… Joshua Batterson, assistant research professor of aerospace engineering, and his contract partners have received more than $2.5 million from NASA and the Department of Defense during the past three years to predict, model and analyze combustion instability in rockets, jet engines and scramjets. Batterson is currently […]
He thought he’d attend college at another school – not Auburn. He thought he’d pursue another career – not engineering. Thanks to Auburn University’s cooperative education (co-op) program, Kevin Cullinan is an ’09 chemical engineering graduate who is enjoying life in Japan as an ExxonMobil execution planning engineer. He […]
A story about one mechanical engineer’s journey from the Loveliest Village on the Plains to the world’s largest medical center, and the legacy he left at Auburn where his career began. Steve Swinson, ’81 mechanical engineering, lives in Houston, Texas, but he began his career working at Auburn University, in […]
From robots to smartphones that are becoming smarter than humans, technology is rapidly and seamlessly making an impact in our everyday life.
