Hey, you can only gain so much in Gainesville. We know that. Thankfully, for Kyle Schulze, Auburn Engineering was willing to imports them jorts, which has allowed the assistant professor in mechanical engineering to pursue everything he loved about Auburn's mission in more ways than one. 

Auburn chemical engineering freshman Sarah Kate Sligh has cerebral palsy. And a national swimming record. And a YouTube channel. And a spot on Auburn's wheelchair tennis team. And a bid from Delta Gamma. And the honor of being the latest guest on the best podcast in all of higher education. And better grades than her mom.

While other institutions were feelin' the 2020 pain, Steve Taylor was making it rain. Yessir, the Bluegrass-born, biosystems-bred associate dean of research has helped raise Auburn Engineering's research reputation to the tune of a record $76 million in new contracts and awards... during a pandemic . You wanna achieve? Then you want a Steve. 

Chemical engineering sophomore Anya McDaniel muses over the magic happening inside Auburn Engineering's new makerspace. 

Studying pedals and earning medals — that's what Jeff Lamondia does. The associate professor of civil and environmental engineering knows more the most about the rocky relationship between cyclists and motorists. And trust us when we say that there ain't nothing pedestrian about his research into pedestrians. Ready to share the road?

We needed a Cupola Engineering Ambassador superstar. And we got him. Enjoy this conversation with software engineering senior Raj Patel.  

Helen Lohr is her name, doing more is her game: Naval ROTC, equestrian and mechanical engineering — and those are just the highlights. So anchor down and saddle up as we learn all the lore of Helen Lohr (and what in the world Wawa is).

Yellow Card chief technology officer Justin Poiroux has used his Auburn Engineering experience to corner the crypto currency exchange market on the world's second largest continent in just a few years, a feat impressive enough to recently secure $15M in Series A Funding from venture capital funds like Peter "PayPal" Thiel's Valar Ventures. That sweet little cash grab was enough...

#GINNing? More like #TWINning! Yes, friends, turns out, God made deuces Sluises. And wouldn't you know it, the other one is an Auburn chemical engineer. So get your ears on and please hit play as John twists the knobs for a Sluis called T.A.

Let's go ahead and call Vinita Shinde the poster child of Auburn Engineering polymer research.  The chemical engineering graduate student recently helped Beckingham Polymer Research Group bring home back-to-back poster awards from the American Chemical Society (ACS) for her poster, “Self-healing of thermoplastic polymer composites via environmentally friendly solvent-filled microcapsules.” Vi...

You can take the girl out of Brazil. And you can apparently take her out of Brazil again. Yes, such was the charm of the loveliest village — both its culture and industrial and systems engineering curriculum — Miss Julia "Brasilia-born" Bitencourt chose to not only pursue her bachelor's degree, but, after a few years in industry back below the equator, to return for her master'...

Mike Ogles , a 1989 Auburn University mechanical engineering graduate who served the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering for several years as director of NASA programs, assistant director of the National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME) and as the driving force behind the Auburn Makes initiative, passed away Thursday, Oct. 14 after a six-month battle with cancer. The latest, spe...

Move over Polly anna, we've got a new term for irrepressible optimism and a tendency to find good in everything: Se Anna. That would SeAnna Graddy, the ROTC-rockin', Camp War Eagle counseling, metal health advocatin' sophomore in industrial and systems engineering who may be the most impressively positive person to parley on this podcast. Trust us, folks, you're gonna be grinni...

The Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers recently honored Apple CEO Tim Cook, a 1982 Auburn industrial engineering graduate, with the opportunity of chatting with industrial and systems engineering senior Annie Dorsey. What did they talk about? How did it come about? Time to find out.

How did Tanner Harness get to the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering? The sub way. And we ain't talkin' the kind that get you around in New York City. We ain't talkin' sandwich artists. We're talking the nuclear powered, sonar-slingin' sardines that keep America's underwater military interests silently secure. We took a deep dive with the civil engineering senior...
