Auburn is powering research that delivers real-world benefits.
From partnering with NASA to advance additive manufacturing to developing autonomous driving technology for truck platooning in commercial and military applications, Auburn is at the forefront of partnerships that deliver real-world solutions.
Auburn has formed the National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence, and it already has more than 40 industry and government collaborators. The center, which will be housed within the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, will conduct research on improving the performance of parts that are created using additive manufacturing, share research results with industry and government collaborators and respond to workforce development needs in the additive manufacturing industry.
Auburn researchers are partnering with the US Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center to conduct a first-of-its-kind demonstration of truck platooning on Interstate 69, crossing the Michigan border to Canada and back. . By using vehicle-to-vehicle wireless communications technology, truck platooning offers increased fuel efficiencies, decreased traffic congestion, and improved road safety.

Auburn is fostering an inclusive community that serves the social good.
Within Alabama’s borders and across the globe, Auburn is working for the social good and empowering students to make a difference. Opening in Fall 2018, the Auburn University Educational Complex in Gulf Shores, Alabama will serve as an educational outpost for the university and a resource for the Gulf Coast. Since 1993, Auburn’s Rural Studio has been building sustainable homes and buildings in the Black Belt region of Alabama. Students are immersed in the communities in which they are building to put their educational values to work as citizens of a community, allowing lower income areas to benefit from thoughtful and responsible design.
Rural Studio, conceived as a method to improve the living conditions in rural Alabama and to include hands-on experience in an architectural pedagogy, is an off-campus design-build program of Auburn University's Architecture program. Rural Studio gives architecture students a more hands-on educational experience while assisting an underserved population in West Alabama's Black Belt region.
Auburn’s School of Nursing is piloting a new outreach program in nearby Alexander City aimed at addressing children’s health in schools across Alabama.
