Corina White joined the SE department in June 2021 as a lecturer. She graduated with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Prairie View A&M University in 2007 and earned a M.S. in Systems Engineering in 2014 from the Naval Postgraduate School. Corina has over 15 years of military civilian service in research and development, depot maintenance, DoD acquisition and test and evaluation. She is ETM Level III certified, is recognized by INCOSE as a Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP), has a Digital Engineering certificate from DAU and a TSTI Digital Engineering Certificate and has completed the Air Command and Staff College (ACSC), earning Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) Level I.

Experience

Corina started her career with the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) as a chemical engineer participating in the Engineering & Scientist Development Program in 2007. As a part of AIR-4.4 Propulsion Lubricants Team in Patuxent River, MD she planned and conducted tests to qualify and ensure the performance of Navy aviation oils for the fleet. She served as the Lead Materials Engineer for the Manufacturing and Processing Team at NAS Jacksonville. She previously worked for NPS as a research associate for the Systems Engineering Department. In 2019, she joined the Marine Corps Test and Evaluation Activity (MCOTEA) at Quantico as an operational research analyst directly supporting Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD). In this role, she analyzed data while verbally and orally communicating evaluation and assessment reports on GBAD systems to leadership, indicating whether the systems were operationally effective, suitable and survivable. Corina served as one of the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Lead Systems Engineers for the Foreign Military Sales Program. Her efforts supported the Force Protection of CONUS bases by leading a team of engineers through the design, installation and sustainment of the systems designated to monitor, surveil and protect assets.

Research efforts include the development of a Systems Engineering Career Competency Model for the DoD for DASN RDT& and contributing to the Digital Engineering Transformation efforts for the United States Marine Corps (USMC). Current research interests include:

-Competency Model Development & Assessments
-Developing Dynamic Teams using Temperaments
-Deploying a Flipped Classroom Strategy to Teach STEM Concepts
