We spent five minutes with Rose-Gaëlle Belinga, graduate student in computer science and software engineering, for our spring/ summer 2010 issue, and followed up with her recently about her 10-week summer internship with financial advising giant Morgan Stanley in New York City. Belinga served as a technology analyst, helping to […]
Auburn’s Center for Microfibrous Materials Manufacturing has been awarded a $3.2 million grant from the Office of Naval Research to study and develop advanced air filters for fuel cell systems. To remove airborne contaminants, fuel cell filters must operate efficiently while allowing air to pass through them with a minimal drop […]
Joseph Burke, a junior in mechanical engineering, likes to go fast. He races when he’s behind the wheel of his rally car, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9, but not through life or school at Auburn. Burke is an internationally ranked motorsport champion and at 18 became the youngest American rally […]
Three Auburn Engineering professors and a graduate student are developing efficient geotextile fabrics with electronic antenna capabilities, and their prototypes are already showing promise. David Elton in civil engineering, Gwen Thomas in polymer and fiber engineering, Lloyd Riggs in electrical engineering and doctoral student Andrew Sivulka are combining their electrical, […]
In August, industrial and systems engineering hosted a teachers institute for the Material Handling Institute of America. The week-long, biannual event featured visiting industrial engineering, logistics and business faculty from around the world, including Canada, South America, Europe and the Middle East, learning new methods for teaching materials handling, logistics […]
Thad Roppel’s electrical and computer engineering class recently “borrowed” Auburn’s new indoor practice facility to conduct a test flight that might normally be done inside Jordan-Hare Stadium by Auburn’s own Nova. Instead, Roppel’s students launched an ornithopter — a robotic cardinal that operates via remote control. Robo Nova, as it […]
This summer, Auburn Engineering celebrated the 25th year of the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT), which was created in 1986 during Weaver’s tenure, through an agreement with the National Asphalt Pavement Association Research and Education Foundation and Auburn University. The center’s success has involved the cooperation of more than […]
Virginia A. Davis (second from left), associate professor in chemical engineering, was among 85 researchers named by President Barack Obama as a recipient of the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on early-career researchers. Davis was recognized for innovative […]
Kate Langley, a junior double majoring in industrial and systems engineering and French, has been offered an international internship with global tire and automotive corporation Michelin. Langley will begin training with the company this summer in Dothan, Ala., in preparation for her six-month experience in France,which begins January 2012. She […]
Auburn Engineering alums T.K. Mattingly, ’58 aerospace engineering, and Forrest S. McCartney, ’52 electrical engineering, have been recognized by the Auburn Alumni Association as recipients of its 2011 Lifetime Achievement Award, the organization’s highest honor. As a NASA astronaut, Mattingly was designated command module pilot for the Apollo 13 mission, […]
