When it comes to diabetes, America is unfortunately rolling in the deep. Enter 2013 Auburn mechanical engineering grad Mark Norton, co-founder of Adele . After all, be it glucose levels or insulin levels, who better to help people take portable, personal control of their diabetic deets than a man who worked for a sweet little company called Apple? 

All right Tiger Fans — let's get it up for a podcast. Senior Ben Timm is one of the leaders down in the Design and Manufacturing Lab in Wiggins Hall. He’s the guy in charge of teaching folks how to machine safely. He chose mechanical engineering because he loved working with his hands. But for the next year, he'll be better known for working with his voice. Are you ready?

From Sand Mountain to American Water, from commencement stages to the NYT business pages, 1981 industrial engineering graduate Susan Story's legacy of leadership is as dynamic as they come. 

Someone has to manage that beautiful, 1.7-mile oval over at the National Center for Asphalt Technology. And DOTs across the fruited, asphalted plains better be thanking their lucky, trucky stars — that someone is Jason Nelson. 

From the Loveliest Village of the Plain comes Mari Miles Dempsey, a senior chemical engineering honors student concentrating in biomedical engineering, and currently researching the effect of acoustics in the growth and further development of physarum polycephalum in the Nature Inspired Fluids and Elasticity Lab at Auburn University. In other words, it's slime time.
