The college has established a new Office of Career Development and Corporate Relations, formerly known as Career Connections. The new office will be temporarily located in the Shelby Center until it is moved to the highly anticipated Brown-Kopel Engineering Student Achievement Center upon its completion in 2019.

The purpose of this office is to provide Auburn Engineering students with professional development skills, give them experiential education opportunities, educate them regarding career options available in each of their fields and provide them with access to companies eager to hire Auburn engineers. Apryl Mullins has been named assistant director of the new office, and she comes to the college with almost 20 years of experience in the Office of Development and Office of Alumni Affairs at Auburn University, including 13 years in the College of Engineering.
