We look back on the research advancements in Auburn Engineering that have made the world a safer place.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of Auburn’s reorganization under the Morrill Act from East Alabama Male College into the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, which established the Colleges of Agriculture and Engineering.

A recent study led by Auburn University agricultural economists suggests that plant-based meat alternatives (PBMA) might be seen by consumers as a niche product rather than as an actual substitute for meat.

U.S. News and World Report ranked Auburn Engineering's undergraduate program No. 33 among public institutions nationally, No. 3 in the Southeastern Conference and No.1 in the state

A historian with ties to the Auburn University College of Agriculture gave the keynote lecture at the college’s 2022 Women in Agriculture luncheon on Sept. 28.

What has agricultural research done for you? It’s a fair enough question, and one that many of us might have a problem answering. But the answers are numerous enough to fill a book or two, which is exactly what Gale Buchanan has done.

Masatoshi Hirabayashi, assistant professor in aerospace engineering, will study the dynamic motion of an asteroid after an intentional collision with a space craft on Sept. 26.

Auburn Engineering wrapped up its year-long 25th anniversary campaign celebration of the Engineering Academic Excellence Program (AEP) – formerly known as the Minority Engineering Program – with a gala reception and dinner held at the Hotel at Auburn University in April.

On a crowded street in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, a woman sells fish and fruit juice cooled by what appears to be ice. But it’s actually FICE, or Functional Ice, an alternative to ice that was created and tested in a lab more than 6,000 miles away, on the Auburn University campus.

Auburn University dedicated the new standard for structural engineering research laboratories today.

Recycled shipping containers have gained popularity in recent years, being converted into everything from houses to small stores—but the Auburn University College of Agriculture, in partnership with Campus Dining, is using them as self-contained “vertical” farms to grow produce to serve to students.

As the Southeast’s leader in transportation research and education, Auburn University is taking another step forward with the announcement of the formation of the Auburn University Transportation Research Institute.

So, imagine you’re a female mosquito. You’re patiently circling, waiting to pounce, while your unsuspecting victim enjoys a picnic with no idea they have unknowingly been placed on your menu. Your multi-lensed eyes have confirmed what your carbon dioxide-detecting and thermal-imaging sensory organs first alerted you to — a likely meal — and although your intended entree is wearing long sleeves, your proboscis, or mouth parts, include six razor-sharp, needle-like appendages that can easily penetrate the tiny spaces in the shirt’s weave.

Auburn University recently opened the doors to a sophisticated new autonomous vehicle research facility at Auburn’s National Center for Asphalt Technology test track — one of the few facilities of its kind in the nation attached to a test track.

In 2020, Auburn’s College of Agriculture hired a historian and storyteller, although his resumé says he’s a geneticist. He was hired to help partner Auburn’s strength in plant breeding with the genome-sequencing renown of Huntsville’s HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, founded in 2005 to apply genomic research across a variety of fields, such as human health, medicine and agriculture. On any given day, you can find the new Auburn assistant professor and HudsonAlpha faculty investigator, Alex Harkess, in his lab, where he traces the past, down to every nucleotide, to help build the future for Alabama farmers.

Auburn University’s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering hosted a dedication ceremony Friday, Sept. 13, to celebrate the opening of the $44 million Brown-Kopel Engineering Student Achievement Center.
