Some students come to Auburn for athletic experiences and some come for engineering. But for mechanical engineering senior David Phillips, it turned out to be both. Hailing from Destin, Florida, David’s Auburn journey took flight after watching the eagle fly inside Jordan-Hare Stadium during Camp War Eagle. Today, he helps educate others about raptor conservation through his work with the Auburn Raptor Center while exploring the many possibilities within mechanical engineering, including underwater unmanned vehicles. If that’s not enough, he’s also interested in pursuing falconry after graduation. Apparently, David likes things that fly... and things that dive. So, let’s dive into this next episode!
