Lynn Albers received her B.S. in Mathematics with a minor in Music from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1992 and her M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Nuclear Engineering at Manhattan College in 1996. After working for Nortel Networks and the North Carolina Solar Center, Lynn matriculated at North Carolina State University where she is a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering. Her dissertation spans the Colleges of Engineering and Education and will be the first of its kind at NCSU.

is a proponent of Hands-On Activities in the classroom and during out-of-school time programs. She believes that they complement any teaching style thereby reaching all learning styles. She just recently earned her doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina State University where her research spanned three colleges and focused on Engineering Education. Her passions include but are not limited to Engineering Education and Energy Engineering. Lynn is currently an Assistant Professor in the newly founded School of Engineering at Campbell University.

Parry received her B.S. in Engineering Management-Mechanical Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla in 1983. After working for IBM for 10 years, Mrs. Parry left to raise her children and start a science education business. Since 1999, she has directed two major grant programs for the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University. Currently, she is the engineering project director for RAMP-UP (Recognizing Accelerated Math Potential in Underrepresented People), a five-year program focusing on outreach to strengthen K-12 math, science and engineering knowledge and funded by NSF and the GE Foundation.
