Dual math/engineering program alumna Lindsey Smith stays right on target at Cummins

11/24/20

Throughout college at Texas Woman's University and the University of North Texas, Lindsey Smith dedicated herself to her studies, getting ahead of the game with internships in production engineering, aviation, locomotives, and even a project with NASA, where she secured funding for her student team to work on a carbon-fiber rocket to be launched at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Smith earned her dual degree in mathematics and engineering from TWU/UNT and now works on manufacturing engineering teams at Cummins. Her next step is a six-month leave to attend military officer school with the National Guard at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. But after that, she'll be right back at Cummins in a new engineering role.

Dual degree program alumna Lindsey Smith does it all
