You have to hand it to Peden Jones. He really has a grasp on the mechanics of 3D printing — and he's not stingy with it. Why, when they came calling, he lent the College of Liberal Arts a helping hand without hesitation. No sir, it's not hard to put a finger on what makes this mechanical engineering graduate research assistant special. Simply put, he believes in the human touch — and the almost-human, too.

Floyd the Racer
Mechanical engineering sophomore Eliana Floyd grew up watching racing with her dad. She's been into cars for as long as she can remember. So, for her, just standing in pit lane would have made the hours in the Makerspace designing, cutting and clamping panels, bleeding brakes and slapping duct tape on the frame worth it. But to actually win a race — a national championship — at Talladega? That was more electric than the car itself.

Pooling Resources
We believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities. Therefore we believe in Hart — Dinehart. The aerospace engineering, breast-stroke swimming junior recently sat down with the #GINNing gang to discuss how she stays afloat in Auburn's academic deep end.
Saving clock towers and computational powers — that's what electrical and computer engineering assistant professor Clint Snider does.
