Auburn University’s Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) student chapter hosted the IIE Southeast Regional Student Conference in February. More than 150 industrial engineering students from 11 schools around the Southeast participated in the event, which included a technical paper competition, a tour of the KIA plant in West Point, Ga., presentations about engineering best practices and a career fair. The conference’s lunch and learn sessions featured presentations by Richard Sesek, faculty member in industrial and systems engineering; Kristin Goin, ’05 industrial and systems engineering alumna and consultant at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta; Jane Foreman, human resources manager at PepsiCo; and Heather Cross, logistics manager for Frito-Lay.
