Auburn senior design team sets record in national naval engineering race

Henry Kendall isn't just saying it because that's what you say when you're an Auburn student. He's saying it because it's true. He was asked about what went into his team placing first in the American Society of Naval Engineers' annual Promoting Electric Propulsion Competition in Virginia Beach, and he answered. The secret to Auburn's speed? Auburn's Creed.
NASA selects Auburn mechanical engineering students to contribute to Artemis missions

He knew Auburn had a good shot at being selected, regardless of the criteria. (Auburn and NASA? Name a more iconic duo. You can't.) But Kyle Schulze, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, still didn't expect the Moon to Mars eXploration Systems and Habitation (M2M X-Hab) Academic Innovation Challenge to be as competitive as it was.
