Lumpkin, Educator of the Year Golden Torch Award from the National Society of Black Engineers, and the 1997 Black Engineer of the Year Education Award which is given to the candidate whose qualifications place him/her in the ranks of the nation's highest achievers in the field of engineering.
Dr. Crumpton-Young held the position of Associate Dean of Engineering at Mississippi State University (MSU), and served as the developer and director of the Ergonomics/Human Factors Program and Experimentation Laboratory during her tenure at Mississippi State University and later served as the Department Chair of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems at The University of Central Florida. Also, Dr. Crumpton-Young served as the Director of the Center for Engineering Leadership and Learning as well as Co-Director of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for e-Design.

Dr. Crumpton-Young’s research has been supported by organizations such as NSF, ONR, NASA, and DOE. Her research interests include: engineering leadership development, user centered design, human performance modeling and analysis, human reliability analysis, human fatigue assessment and modeling, use of virtual reality and computer simulation in ergonomics design and analysis, design of displays and controls, workplace design; carpal tunnel syndrome prevention and control; and workplace redesign for disabled persons.
Dr. Crumpton-Young received the prestigious CAREER development award from the National Science Foundation to pursue research in the area of designing the workplace to accommodate persons with disabilities and, obtained a research grant through the Department of Education to explore the use of Virtual Reality in designing for persons with disabilities. She also received the outstanding industrial paper award for her research entitled: An Investigation of Cumulative Trauma Disorders in the Construction Industry at the Seventh International Occupational Ergonomics and Safety Conference.
