From Facebook, we asked, what was your favorite Auburn Engineering class? Angela Fannéy: Pop quiz time in Dr. Elton’s Geotech! Beth Wages Johnson: I met my husband in Engineering Economics so that class was special, but my favorite classes were Electromagnetic Field Theory and Logics. Jackie Holliday Hundley: Many years ago, […]
From the desk of… Mark Byrne, Daniel F. and Josephine Breeden associate professor of chemical engineering, has been awarded a $400,000 grant from the National Institute of Health to study and develop extended-wear contact lenses that treat glaucoma by slowly releasing a controlled dose of medication to the eye over […]
Joseph Majdalani, Auburn Alumni Engineering Council endowed professor and chair of aerospace engineering, and Joshua Batterson, assistant professor of aerospace engineering, are studying the oscillatory behavior and vibratory response, known as combustion instability, of chemical rockets, gas turbines and large combustors. These researchers are investigating the behavior of resonant combustion […]
It is said one hour of sunlight hitting the Earth can run the operations of mankind for one year, and Bruce Tatarchuk, Charles E. Gavin professor of chemical engineering and director of the Center for Microfibrous Materials Manufacturing, is ready to help harness that energy. Tatarchuk received an X-ray photoelectron […]
Xinyu Zhang, associate professor in polymer and fiber engineering, received a $350,000 award from Leading Edge Aeronautics Research for NASA Fund to study technology that would improve composite material in aerospace structures. This is phase two of Zhang’s ongoing research titled: “Poptube Technology, Enabling Multifunctional Hybrid Composites for Next Generation […]
The 2014 NanoDays kicked off in March with future engineers and scientists descending on the Agricultural Heritage Park Pavilion on Auburn’s campus. More than 60 students, grades 2-10, jumped into hands-on experiments and eagerly learned scientific concepts at the nanoscale level. From measuring themselves in nanometers to being trapped in […]
Feb. 16-22 marked National Engineers Week, and the College of Engineering celebrated using social media. We asked our alumni, using the college’s Facebook page, why they are proud to be an Auburn engineer. As expected, we received a great response! Participants consistently mentioned Auburn Engineering’s fundamental engineering education and the […]
