“When we got together to work through problems our first two years, I don’t think any of us realized that those would be the people we would depend on for help and support over the next four years.”
Congrats to Ann Varghese and all of our 2026 engineering graduates!

The racetrack Barber Motorsports Park became a classroom last month, when a UAB mechanical engineering class spent a day at the races during the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix. Andrés Morales took his Vehicle Dynamics class to Barber, where students were able to talk with engineers from the Indycar teams, visit the museum, and enjoy a birds-eye view of the pit area.
