AU offers Southeast’s first automotive engineering and manufacturing curriculum

The AU Samuel Ginn College of Engineering is now offering a curriculum in automotive engineering and manufacturing, the first of its kind in the Southeast. To better prepare engineers for jobs in the region's growing automotive manufacturing industry, the 15 credit-hour minor will focus on vehicle quality, logistics, design and planning. This program will provide Alabama's automotive factories with much-needed employees for mid- and upper-management roles, developing the state's economy by allowing the plants to become more efficient. Coursework is taken during students' junior and senior years and includes the study of lean manufacturing systems, vehicle trends and technologies, vehicle dynamics and data decision making using Six Sigma. The Six Sigma strategy identifies and removes the causes of defects and errors in manufacturing and business processes. Participating students also can earn course credit for involvement in student vehicle teams, such as Formula SAE and Baja SAE, which are part of Auburn's War Eagle Motor Sports program. During the 2009-2010 academic year, the college plans to send a student group to Korea to interact with automotive industry professionals working with Kia on an international stage.

    I precisely needed to appreciate you yet again. I do not know what I would’ve created in the absence of those creative ideas provided by you regarding that subject. It was before a hard issue in my opinion, but viewing the very specialised manner you solved it forced me to cry for joy. I’m grateful for this help and thus wish you are aware of a great job you are always putting in teaching people using your web blog. Most probably you have never met all of us.

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
