Biosystems Engineering recognized by national honor society
Auburn's Delta Beta chapter of Alpha Epsilon, the honor society for agricultural and biological engineering, has been recognized as the most improved chapter for 2008 among all U.S. and international chapters. Faculty and students in the Department of Biosystems Engineering were honored at the annual international meeting of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers in Providence, R.I., June 29-July 2. Throughout the last three academic years, the chapter has taken the initiative to provide leadership and professional development opportunities to students by sponsoring a Fundamentals of Engineering Exam review series, which is coordinated by Alpha Epsilon members and taught by Biosystems Engineering faculty, said department head Steven Taylor. Three years ago, faculty member Puneet Srivastava and student Sarah Sanders volunteered to reactivate the chapter and renew efforts to recognize scholarship and professional attainment in the agricultural and biological engineering profession.
