January 28, 2014 is a day few of us will forget. People stranded in cars. Children stranded in schools. Families separated and scared after a winter storm hit metro Atlanta.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
