For Casey Waid, it's all about connecting people back to the college they love.  And who better to hold their hand on the journey home than one of their own.  That's right, the Auburn diploma hanging in the office of this Samuel Ginn College of Engineering development officer reads "chemical engineering."  Of course, you better be careful - ol' Casey's got a grip that...

Is high finance a valid use of an engineering degree? Uh, is pool water wet? Why don’t we let 1985 industrial and systems engineering grad Dan Phillips take a crack at those questions...

Of course she has concrete plans for the future. For crying out loud, she's the president of the American Concrete Institute student chapter, which just earned Auburn an ACI Excellent University designation for the 6th year in a row. (Can you say "Dynasty?") So, yeah, when it comes to Kelly, we say Turner loose.

Don't mess with Jacob vonEschenbach. Just don't mess with him. Because when this Enterprise-bred, arm and leg-acy Auburn engineering walk-on warrior sees a challenge, he tackles it head on.

In German, her last name may mean Squirrel. But around these parts, it means Best Student Worker of the Year. Well, no, technically, she hasn’t won — not yet. But she’d better, because Natalie Eichorn deserves all the kudos coming to her. This Austin-bred, Accenture-bound software engineering senior has lightened the web work load for our IT guy, and serves as a shining example of success for futu...

Brittany Ransom has more student organization leadership positions than you can count. But the mechanical engineering junior isn't just padding her portfolio for the kudos. She's doing it to put herself in position to attack the problems of urban infrastructure and, as she puts it in her National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenges Scholars Program bio — reinvent the world.

Last summer, we learned he's an investigator on that $3 million FAA project with Auburn's National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence. Last month? That he'll be researching lead-free defense electronics thanks to a $7 million award from the Dept. of Defense. His name may be Daniel Silva, but friends, this assistant Industrial and Systems Engineering professor is bringing h...

It's a classic tale of redemption and revelation: A young Bama fan considering journalism comes to Auburn on a whim, takes one look at the engineering campus, and is forever changed.   This is how Anna Layne West was won.

Romance. Civil Engineering. Boll Weevils. Alliteration. This episode of the award-winning #GINNing has it all.

How Jessica "Dixie" Mills' long hike through the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering took her to the summit of YouTube success.

Friends, Auburn Engineering's alumni trophy case is bursting at the seams. There's the the CEO of the world's first trillion-dollar company, astronauts galore, the PowerPoint Prince.... and now we have to make room for Travis Moore — the Cornhole King.   The senior in civil and environmental engineering just took home the doubles crown from the National College Cornhole Championship...

Associate Civil and Environmental professor Justin Marshall was looking for a little structure in his life when he came to Auburn...and boy did he get it.

Bernie Moussad just graduated from Auburn University with a 4.0 GPA in computer engineering. He's dedicating his career to researching bioinformatics. Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders ruined his life.

There may be no T in his name, but there's plenty of speed in his game. Yessir, come October, Bevly Boy Will Bryan and his new master's degree will be kicking back and letting the code take the wheel in the Indy Autonomous Challenge at 200 driverless miles per hour. Eat your heart out, Mario Lemiuex.

Hueytown-born Patrick Duke, ’99 civil, reflects on life as an Auburn-trained engineer.

...who is Andrew McGehee?

You've seen her face. Now hear her story. Ladies and gentlemen, Livy Green.

Dearly Beloved, our only regret in this oh-so-memorable interview with oh-so-impressive Procter & Gamble-bound chemical engineering senior Nathan Wall is that we didn't get him to actually pop the question right then and there.

Mechanical engineering senior Zac Young recently tossed a no hitter at the 2020 SEC Student Pitch Competition with a gold-mine of a gadget called the Wave Timer. Caution: High voltage ahead.

What exactly is a research engineer?  Christian Brodbeck, one of the best around, enlightens us on the latest episode of the #GINNing Podcast.

Sometimes we wonder whether a guest really meets the criteria. But we didn't think twice about the man from Nigeria.

Nelda Lee — Boeing your mind since '69.

Ethical Hacking. Oxymoron? Scam? Or an essential ingredient in educating the next generation of secret agents inspired by that 1992 film ol' Jer just can't seem to shut up about? Whatever you decide after listening to this interview with Vicki McLendon, just remember... it's all about the information.

If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of assistant civil and environmental professor Benjamin Bowers' mug, please contact the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering.

A Be the Creed honoree... a WayUp’s Intern 100 list member... a two-time technical intern with GE Aviation... and he's only a sophomore? You had your chance, Bama.
