Dr. Lewis is an Assistant Professor of construction engineering at Oklahoma State University (OSU). She has been involved in the construction industry for thirty years. After graduating with a BS in Construction Management in 1991 from Oklahoma State University, she worked for Brown & Root for ten years focusing primarily on refining and petrochemical projects. In 2006, Amy completed her master's degree at Texas State University. For the next 6 years Amy worked in business development for the AEC industry in the central Texas area. After working as a scheduling consultant for five years in the Texas and west coast markets, Amy returned to Stillwater, Oklahoma to work at Long Range Facilities Planning as a project manager. After working in the construction business for more than three decades, Dr. Lewis was curious as to why the industry was not recruiting and retaining more women. This curiosity led to launching her research focusing on the obstacles women face in non-traditional careers and what the construction industry can do to increase the inclusion of women and other minorities. After completing her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Amy joined the Construction Engineering Technology Program as an Assistant Professor in January 2021.

Then Dr. Cook worked as a research assistant on a variety of projects in the concrete laboratory at Oklahoma State University. Some of his most noteworthy contributions as a research team member of Tyler Ley were the development of the Box Test AASHTO TP 137 as a workability test for slip formed paving and creation of the Tarantula Curve for aggregate proportioning in a concrete mixture design. Upon completing his doctorate, Dr. Cook worked as a technical service engineer for an international cement supplier. Dr. Cook provided technical support for both customers and internal personnel on a variety of topics related to cement, slag cement, concrete, masonry, and oil-well. Some of these tasks included communicating material specifications, generating concrete submittals, submitting slag and cement submittals, designing mixes for concrete, conducting quality audits, and troubleshooting hardened and fresh concrete and masonry. Also, Dr. Cook has designed mixtures for a wide-spread of applications such as high strength concrete, slip formed paving concrete, typical slab-on-grade concrete, pumpable concrete, self-consolidating concrete, flowable fill, grout, and even a few mass pour mixtures. Dr. Cook joined the academic world as a research associate in Civil Engineering Department of Oklahoma State University. He also taught classes for the HCMTB program (ODOT training center).
