On Monday, Auburn University strengthened its reputation as the premiere destination for structural engineering research by opening the doors on a $22 million state-of-the-art laboratory that will provide solutions to the nation's growing infrastructure issues for years to come.
Thanks to a recent $3 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME) at Auburn University will soon initiate a two-year project focused on improving commercial air travel through the use of 3D-printed (or additively manufactured) metal components.
Alabama Public Television’s “Spotlight on Agriculture” documentary series recently devoted an entire hour-long episode to a unique Auburn engineering project that continues to make headlines across the country.
Faculty and staff from across Auburn’s campus are utilizing 3D printers to continue to produce personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face shields and mask strap holders for health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic, expanding assistance to 16 regional health facilities.
The Auburn University Samuel Ginn College of Engineering is donating vital personal protective equipment (PPE) and supplies to East Alabama Medical Center to aid in the local effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The donations include 10 gallons of hand sanitizer mixed by the Department of Chemical Engineering and 300 3D-printed protective face shields.
As an institutional leader of transportation research and workforce development, Auburn University’s Department of Civil Engineering has taken the lead to organize and develop the 63rd Annual Alabama Transportation Conference. The conference, which takes place Feb. 11-12 at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel at the Convention Center, will welcome nearly 1,000 federal and state highway personnel, road building contractors, general contractors, heavy construction contractors, utility contractors, county engineers, consulting engineers, construction material vendors, researchers, professional society representatives and university faculty members.
Representatives from the Team Redstone Additive Manufacturing Integrated Product Team (IPT) recently visited Auburn University’s National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence, or NCAME, to tour the center’s additive manufacturing facilities and continue discussions on current and future collaborations with Auburn.
