Fuel the Next Breakthrough

Every gift to Auburn Mechanical Engineering Senior Design empowers students to turn bold ideas into real solutions. Your support funds prototyping, testing, materials, and lab resources—so student teams can deliver professional-quality results for sponsors and the community.


Why Your Support Matters

  • Hands-on learning: Students move from concept to prototype using real tools, timelines, and reviews.
  • Industry readiness: Teams practice project management, documentation, and technical presentation.
  • Community impact: Projects address needs across healthcare, manufacturing, accessibility, and more.

Impact Levels

  • $250 — critical consumables and rapid-prototype materials
  • $1,000 — a semester of lab supplies for one team
  • $5,000+ — fully supports a capstone project (materials, testing, and fabrication)

Every dollar directly supports student innovation in Senior Design.
