Mrs. Lambeth serves as the Educational Assessment and Administrative Coordinator for the Engineering Research Center for Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, North Carolina.
An assistant professor in the department of Chemical, Biological, and Bioengineering, he has his B.S. in Industrial Engineering from North Carolina A&T and his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Iowa. His research involves musculoskeletal biomechanics with a focus on computational methods. He is also deeply interested in engineering education and especially creating opportunities for underrepresented minorities and women in the field.
Creating a Pipeline into Biomedical Engineering In an effort to respond to the lacking diversity in the STEM fields and worker shortage,the ERC- has developed a series of impactful educational outreach activities.These include short term (one-day) workshops, multi-week experiences aimed at improvingoverall scientific understanding. These experiences provide students with hands on researchexperiences in university laboratories working alongside University faculty and principalinvestigators. Other examples include a series of demonstrations as a part of Black FamilyTechnology Awareness Week, highlighting research areas within the ERC- aswell as other bioengineering concepts. This paper will describe the education and outreachactivities and their impact on students' likelihood to pursue a career in engineering.
