The student soldiers numbered 878, according to API President Charles Thach, and formed the academic section of the Student Army Training Corps.

Fully funded by the government and coordinated by Auburn's Dean of Engineering, college-level courses were given in concentrated, mainly evening classes at sites across Alabama. Taken by thousands of adults – including many women – these courses were highly beneficial in filling the wartime ranks of civilian engineers, chemists, and other technical professionals. The ESMWT also benefited API by providing employment for faculty members when the student body was significantly diminished by <a href="/wiki/Conscription_in_the_United_States" title="Conscription in the United States">the draft</a> and volunteer enlistment. </p><p>During the war, API also trained U.S. military personnel on campus; between 1941 and 1945, Auburn produced over 32,000 troops for the war effort.

Hargis</figcaption></figure> <p>The Auburn campus is primarily arranged in a grid-like pattern with several distinct building groups. The northern section of the central campus (bounded by Magnolia Ave. and Thach Ave.) contains most of the College of Engineering buildings, the Lowder business building, and the older administration buildings. The middle section of the central campus (bounded by Thach Ave. and Roosevelt Dr.) contains the College of Liberal Arts (except fine arts) and the College of Education, mostly within Haley Center. The southern section of the central campus (bounded by Roosevelt Dr. and Samford Ave.) contains most of the buildings related to the College of Science and Mathematics, as well as fine arts buildings. </p><p>Several erratic building spurts, beginning in the 1950s, have resulted in some exceptions to the subject clusters as described above. Growing interaction issues between pedestrians and vehicles led to the closure of a significant portion of Thach Avenue to vehicular traffic in 2004. A similarly sized portion of Roosevelt Drive was also closed to vehicles in 2005. In an effort to make a more appealing walkway, these two sections have been converted from asphalt to concrete. The general movement towards a pedestrian only campus is ongoing, but is often limited by the requirements for emergency and maintenance vehicular access. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cater_Hall_Auburn_University.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Cater_Hall_Auburn_University.JPG/255px-Cater_Hall_Auburn_University.JPG" decoding="async" width="255" height="191" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="4000" data-file-height="3000"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 255px;height: 191px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Cater_Hall_Auburn_University.JPG/255px-Cater_Hall_Auburn_University.JPG" data-alt="" data-width="255" data-height="191" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Cater_Hall_Auburn_University.JPG/383px-Cater_Hall_Auburn_University.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Cater_Hall_Auburn_University.JPG/510px-Cater_Hall_Auburn_University.JPG 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a><figcaption>Katharine Cooper Cater Hall</figcaption></figure> <p>The current period of ongoing construction began around the year 2000.

Auburn University was the first university in the Southeast to offer the bachelor of software engineering degree and the master of software engineering degree. Auburn was also the only school to offer a degree in the 2000s for Polymer & Fiber Engineering, combining medical research, advanced composites, sustainability and recycling and other disciplines into an advanced material science offering for undergraduates through doctorate degrees. Despite significant corporate sponsorship, such as from Under Armour, the undergraduate offering of the department was disbanded and absorbed into other departments leaving options for higher degrees.<sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ross_Chemistry_Laboratory_on_the_Auburn_University_campus,_Alabama_LCCN2010639196.tif" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Ross_Chemistry_Laboratory_on_the_Auburn_University_campus%2C_Alabama_LCCN2010639196.tif/lossy-page1-220px-Ross_Chemistry_Laboratory_on_the_Auburn_University_campus%2C_Alabama_LCCN2010639196.tif.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="100" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="6144" data-file-height="2789"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 100px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Ross_Chemistry_Laboratory_on_the_Auburn_University_campus%2C_Alabama_LCCN2010639196.tif/lossy-page1-220px-Ross_Chemistry_Laboratory_on_the_Auburn_University_campus%2C_Alabama_LCCN2010639196.tif.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="100" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Ross_Chemistry_Laboratory_on_the_Auburn_University_campus%2C_Alabama_LCCN2010639196.tif/lossy-page1-330px-Ross_Chemistry_Laboratory_on_the_Auburn_University_campus%2C_Alabama_LCCN2010639196.tif.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Ross_Chemistry_Laboratory_on_the_Auburn_University_campus%2C_Alabama_LCCN2010639196.tif/lossy-page1-440px-Ross_Chemistry_Laboratory_on_the_Auburn_University_campus%2C_Alabama_LCCN2010639196.tif.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a><figcaption>Ross Hall, home to Auburn's Department of Chemical Engineering</figcaption></figure> <p>Auburn has historically placed much of its emphasis on the education of engineers at the undergraduate level, and in recent years has been ranked as high as the 10th largest undergraduate engineering program in the U.S. in terms of the number of undergraduate degrees awarded on annual basis.

At the end of the game, the eagle dove into the ground and subsequently died; however, the Auburn faithful took the eagle as an omen of success and coined the phrase "War Eagle" in turn.<sup id="cite_ref-Auburn_Tigers_110-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Auburn_Tigers-110"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>107<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During a pep rally in 1913, a cheerleader said that the team would have to fight the whole game because the game meant "war".
