Dr. Jamie Turner, Faculty Lead

Dr. Jamie Turner "Behind every skyscraper, car, water treatment plant, and light-switch is a group of engineers who researched, brainstormed, fumbled, tried, and tried again.  From refrigerators and radios to starships and artificial intelligence, it's an exciting time to be alive.  I am humbled and inspired to work alongside others who feel called to study late into the night in search of a better tomorrow."

Jamie Turner, Ph.D., lead professor of engineering, joined LSC-Kingwood in 2013. Turner earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Colorado School of Mines, in Golden, Colorado and a Ph.D. in Engineering Systems from the same institution.

Prior to joining LSC-Kingwood, Turner taught engineering courses at the Colorado School of Mines, worked for Los Alamos National Labs and Hazen Research.

Turner is involved in several professional organizations including the Particulate Science and Technology Group, and the Society of Math and Engineering.

She was instrumental in starting LSC-Kingwood's engineering program. "We have grown the department from offering only one class and one degree program to now offering seven different classes and five associate of science degrees from five different instructors," Turner explained.  "It has been really exciting to develop courses and degree programs and see the first cohort of students successfully transfer into four year engineering programs."

Turner is an advisor for the Society of Math and Engineering club, serves on the Engineering curriculum team.
