STUDENT ENGAGEMENT Student learning goes far beyond the classroom. Auburn Engineering offers a wide array of co-curricular programming that builds on academic instruction and allows students to unlock their full potential as engineers. Engineering Global Programs

Undergraduate Research

Auburn Engineering offers more than a dozen global programs and study abroad scholarships for students to engage in experiential learning across the world. These include exchange programs with institutions in Australia, Germany, Italy and Taiwan; faculty-led programs in China, Germany, Italy and Spain; and service-learning programs through Engineers Without Borders in Rwanda and Bolivia. Students also have the opportunity to experience the world through Auburn’s newly developed global internship program.

As a nationally prominent research institution, Auburn provides undergraduates with hands-on opportunities to engage in fundamental and applied research projects with faculty members, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students. Star researchers can even receive a stipend and funds for travel and research through the university’s Undergraduate Research Fellowship program.

Student Organizations With dozens of engineering student organizations, every student can find their niche at Auburn. From discipline-specific honor societies to the interdisciplinary Formula SAE race team and the Student Launch rocketbuilding team, Auburn Engineering students have ample opportunities to get involved outside the classroom, including leadership programs such as the Cupola Engineering Ambassadors and the Engineering Student Council.
