In May, the Department
of Polymer and Fiber
Engineering awarded
bachelor’s degrees to
its first graduates – Jessica
Dewberry of Alexander City,
Ala., Arthur Hinton of Ozark, Ala.,
Brandon Carthon of Albany, Ga., Gold Darr of Clinton
Tenn., and Weston Wilson of Auburn. The department
offers the opportunity to pursue a bachelor’s degree
while focusing on a polymer or fiber option. The
polymer option emphasizes polymer characterization,
processing and chemistry, while the fiber option
focuses on mechanics and composite materials. The
department also offers a master’s degree, as well as
a doctoral degree in integrated textile and apparel
science in conjunction with Auburn’s Department
of Consumer Affairs. Faculty members are currently
developing a doctoral program solely in polymer and
fiber engineering.
