Engineering Real-World Solutions

Auburn Mechanical Engineering seniors transform classroom learning into tangible impact. Through industry-sponsored projects, teamwork, and innovation, students design solutions that shape industries and communities.


Senior Design is more than a capstone — it’s where Auburn engineers prove they are ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Over two semesters, students work in teams, partner with industry sponsors, and deliver solutions that demonstrate Auburn’s commitment to excellence, integrity, and service.

“I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.”
— Auburn Creed
