Carol Johnson: Humanity in Design

摘要

Born in a small town in Alabama, Carol Johnson says she cherishes her roots. "I was raised in the country. Grew up playing in the woods." Johnson has since grown from that little girl who played in the woods to a woman who is a senior project manager at Edmonds Engineering (EEI), a full service commercial and industrial engineering consulting design firm. Johnson holds a Certified Plumbing Designer (CPD) designation from ASPE, a LEED Accredited Professional (AP) designation from Green Business Certification Inc., as well as a Certified Fire Inspector (CFI) designation.Even when just a little girl playing in the woods, Johnson knew she just loved how things worked. She recalls being able to fix most any lawnmower or radio at a very early age. "It went uphill, or downhill from there," she says. "I did my first real plumbing job under my grandmother's house when I was eight-years-old. The yellow lab ate pipes."She never outgrew that passion for learning about how things work. She attended Walker College in Jasper, Alabama, and then the University of Alabama Birmingham, where she studied mathematics and engineering.
