The best podcast in higher education, brought to you by Auburn University's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. Hosted by Austin Phillips and Jeremy Henderson.
There’s a buzz around town about Dylan Heard, a rising senior in mechanical engineering. Heard has spent many hours of his time as an undergraduate student working with the Auburn University Bee Center making that honey, and come next year after graduation he’s going to be making that money.
Mark Schall is a man of many hats. He’s served as associate chair of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, as the Daniel F. and Josephine Breeden Professor and as director of the Human Systems Integration Center. But come Aug. 1, he’ll have a new title: department chair. So, pull up your chair as we chat with the chair on this episode of the #GINNing podcast.
Lynnae Stypulkowski was born to be an engineer. She was also born to teach. The lecturer in civil and environmental engineering is passionate about geotechnical engineering, stormwater research and teaching. So, what better place to be than Auburn University?
It’s been a busy month for Missie Smith, assistant professor of industrial and systems engineering. First, she was named as one of Business Alabama’s Women in Tech for 2026. Then, she was awarded an NSF CAREER Award for her work in augmented reality. Now, she’s the next guest on the #GINNing Podcast. Just imagine how far her career is going after this…
Looking to further your engineering education or acquire new skills through professional development? Alicia Harkless has you covered. The director of Auburn Engineering’s Office of Online and Continuing Education loves learning, both on campus and online. She holds two bachelor’s degrees, two master’s degrees and a Ph.D. And because of her, you too can add a degree to your portfolio from the comfort of your office or home.
When you were a student, did you make the dean’s list every semester? Didn’t think so. But you know who did? India Warren did. In addition, this week’s guest has accomplished a lot in the past month. She was named as the Outstanding Civil and Environmental Engineering Student of the Year, graduated summa cum laude and has begun graduate school. And that was just in her spare time.
Last week, we heard from Roland Walker of the famed Walkers of Orange Beach. This week, hear the other side of the story, as brother Bill sets the record straight on what Roland got wrong. Bill’s blood runs Auburn colors, from Orange Beach to the Navy. This commander was forged by the sea, and now he’s full speed ahead.
This is a tale of two brothers — Roland and Bill Walker — and this is the legacy of the Walker family of Orange Beach who traveled from the charter industry at the Gulf Coast to the orange and blue of the Plains. And now, they’re giving back in both places. First up: brother Roland. This fisherman turned electrical engineer brought many good things to life for GE, and now he’s doing the same for future Auburn engineers. So, pick up your rod and reels, bait your hook and get ready: this is the Sea Rebel.
Move over Dmitri Mendeleev and make room for Konstantin Klyukin, an assistant professor or materials and mechanical engineering. While the new Russian research machine may be in search of the holy grail of catalysis, it’s gonna have to wait 20 minutes for this next podcast.
SpaceX loves Auburn Engineering graduates. SpaceX needs more Auburn Engineering graduates. Enter Nick Raciti. The honors mechanical engineering graduate will take his diploma and head to the West Coast upon graduation as the second #GINNing guest in a row to work with the space giant.
