Areas of Emphasis
As a top ranked research institution, the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering is focused on driving technology and innovation that will improve human life on a global scale while enhance economic vitality. With eight departments, faculty interests cover a broad range of disciplines, however, current areas of research emphasis include:
Cyber -- Security and Beyond
Auburn engineering researchers are working to develop technologies that enhanced the security of people, property and information. The efforts guard against threats that are man-made or acts of nature.
Sustainable Infrastructure and the Environment
Sustainability in technologies, communities, infrastructure and the environment is critical for economic growth, the protection and improvement of our living standard and in stewarding the planet for the next generation.
Health and Biomedical Imaging
Auburn engineers are developing unique technologies for more effective and cost-effective health care.
Transportation
Our nation's transportation system is among the finest in the world and the lifeblood of our economy. However, with challenges that include age, higher energy costs, increased congestion and reduced funding, there is much work to be done.
Advanced Materials
Multifunctional and "smart" materials are redefining all aspects of our lives. Auburn engineers are at the leading edge of these next generation technologies.
