Ford Product Development Engineer Discusses Emission Control Strategies

Auburn Engineering alumnus Gilbert Fournelle, product development engineer for Ford Motor Company Powertrain Control Systems, recently presented a seminar on the Auburn campus that covered legal requirements for emissions certification; three-way catalysts and after-treatment systems; and emissions-optimizing control systems and performance trade-offs.

While on campus, Fournelle, who earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering from Auburn in '97 and '99, also visited the university's Formula SAE team. Fournelle was an active member of the team during his time as a student and continues to be a supporter of the Auburn program.
