Aerospace Students Win AIAA Awards
Last year, Auburn's aerospace students went three for three in the AIAA Paper Contest. After taking first place in the AIAA Southeastern Regional Student Conference in January, David Padgett presented his paper at the 2003 AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting in Reno, earning a fourth place finish in the national competition. His first place finish in the regional competition marked the second consecutive year that an Auburn paper topped all others in the undergraduate category.
Jeremy Corpening and Chris Reasonover won the 2001 Southeastern Regional Competition.
Freshman Mike Brennison took third place in the undergraduate category in the
2003 regional competition with his paper entitled "An Experimental Investigation
of Friction Reduction in Hydraulic Tubing with an Advanced Oligomeric Silane Coating."
Zafar Bangash and Robin Sanchez took second place in the graduate category with
their paper, "An Experimental Investigation of Formation Flight." More than two
dozen papers were submitted from 15 universities throughout the Southeast, with
Auburn as the only university placing in both categories. Congratulations to these
students on their impressive showing.
