Some students come to Auburn for athletic experiences and some come for engineering. But for mechanical engineering senior David Phillips, it turned out to be both. Hailing from Destin, Florida, David’s Auburn journey took flight after watching the eagle fly inside Jordan-Hare Stadium during Camp War Eagle. Today, he helps educate others about raptor conservation through his work with the Auburn Raptor Center while exploring the many possibilities within mechanical engineering, including underwater unmanned vehicles. If that’s not enough, he’s also interested in pursuing falconry after graduation. Apparently, David likes things that fly... and things that dive. So, let’s dive into this next episode!
Listen: Episode 387Whether she’s borrowing her mom’s vintage Auburn swag or studying abroad, Salena Marino, a senior in civil and environmental engineering, knows a thing or two about building strong foundations, both in engineering and in leadership. She serves as a Cupola Student Ambassador, co-founded the Association of Women in Civil Engineering and even took her Auburn experience overseas while studying abroad in Italy. Now, she’s paving the way toward a career in project management, where we’re pretty sure no detail will fall through the cracks. From Auburn to Italy, and wherever her career takes her next, Salena is engineering a pretty exciting future. Let’s dig in!
