A message from the Dean

Dear Prospective Student,

Auburn's College of Engineering is a great place. I know this because I am an Auburn Engineering graduate, with undergraduate and graduate degrees in civil engineering.

As a student, I never imagined that I would return to Auburn as the dean of engineering—but I did graduate with the certainty that my Auburn Engineering degree could take me anywhere and that my preparation would be the equal of any engineer. That's because Auburn faculty and staff are committed to the kind of hands-on, focused undergraduate curriculum that has made Auburn Engineering the choice of so many students who have gone on to become leaders in a wide variety of careers that span the globe.

Recently we have begun an aggressive campaign to advance Auburn Engineering to the level of the nation's engineering elite. We invite you to be a part of this future.

Engineering represents a challenging and rigorous course of study—but many have gone before you and succeeded in creating deeply satisfying careers whose byword has been that of people helping people. Join us on this exciting road...we believe it is a choice you will never regret.

Larry Benefield
Dean, Samuel Ginn College of Engineering
