Geo Explorer Auburn is gearing up to ignite curiosity and deliver hands on STEM learning to thousands of students as part of America's 250th celebration. Department of Geosciences chair Tim Hawthorne and curriculum director Amanda Savrda join the Everything Auburn Podcast to share how a thirty-five foot used RV transformed into the world's largest mobile geoscience lab — and why they're driving it coast to coast this summer.
Two years removed from a $50 million agreement to enhance the U.S. Army's advanced manufacturing technologies, the Department of War is calling on Auburn Engineering again — this time through a five-year, $49 million contract supporting the military's aviation and missile enterprise.
This year, the state's farmers are expected to plant about 400,000 acres of corn, and yields will be highly impacted by nutrients, primarily nitrogen. But now, researchers with Auburn University's College of Agriculture, Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station (AAES) and the Alabama Cooperative Extension System see that deficiencies in sulfur also may be affecting corn yields.
From monitoring crop health and weather patterns to helping educators evaluate program impact, AI is increasingly embedded in both the agricultural classroom and the field. Leading that shift is the Agricultural Education, Leadership and Communications (AELC) Program in Auburn's College of Education, where faculty are working to ensure AI is used with purpose, precision and human oversight.
