ResearchThe Samuel Ginn College of Engineering at Auburn University is committed to the discovery of new engineering technologies, concepts and processes and the hardware necessary to realize them. Our research makes a difference in the everyday lives of people around the world by helping to ensure the economic prosperity, health and security of our society. Auburn technology has made highways safer, quieter and longer lasting; fuel cells more efficient; wireless technology more effective; and even the food we eat safer.

The College of Engineering is home to three of the seven Auburn University Peaks of Excellence, as well as 12 research centers and numerous department laboratories. Collaborative efforts with researchers from around the world futher enrich our efforts and their impact.

Research by Auburn Engineering faculty bring new, cutting-edge ideas and practices into the classroom and laboratory, on both the graduate and undergraduate level, bringing excellence in instruction to our students. Every undergraduate student in the College of Engienering has the opportunity to participate in research projects.

As our research efforts have grown, so has our graduate student body. Over the next eight years their numbers are expected to double, providing the critical mass necessary to raise our research efforts to the next level.

We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with government agencies, businesses and foundations to identify research needs, expand established technologies and develop new ones, and transfer knowledge and technology to industry.
