Many faculty, staff, and students attended the 2022 Alabama Hall of Fame hosted by the College of Engineering in February at the Grand Hotel in Fairhope, Alabama.

This summer, the College of Engineering revived the Summer Engineering Academy (S.E.A). We had 29 high school participants from the Mobile and Baldwin County areas participate in a week-long camp designed to expose students to the fun of engineering through hands-on labs and activities and what each of our engineering disciplines are about. S.E.A was sponsored by AM/NS Calvert.
