“Overall, our team performed incredibly well. Our biggest strengths are that we work hard in practice and train for the unexpected,” stated Hansen, workforce briefing officer and a mechanical engineering pupil from Westlake, Ohio. “As a team, we also utilize each other’s strengths and cover each other’s weaknesses. We prioritize working together like a well-oiled machine.” 

 

At this yr’s competitors, the WVU Mine Rescue Staff earned first place in 4 classes: the workforce mine rescue train, the smoke maze, the person BG-4 bench and the person 240-R bio bench. These victories secured their third consecutive general champion title. 

 

“We continue to prove that consistent practice and old-fashioned hard work produces results,” Brady stated. “The team works like an in-shape human body — each member has different responsibilities, and they have again demonstrated working together as one is unbeatable.” 

 

The workforce mine rescue and smoke maze workout routines befell within the underground Edgar Experimental Mine. College students have been tasked with navigating a smoke maze and finding lacking miners, administering first help and performing a high-angle rope rescue to save lots of a simulated miner stranded 30 ft within the air. 

 

Anticipating this problem, workforce members Shilling and Rice earned rope rescue technician certifications through the summer time as a part of the workforce’s rigorous preparations. This problem provided probably the most life like mine rescue expertise that the majority workforce members will encounter of their careers. 

 

The WVU Mine Rescue Staff didn’t simply win this class — the workforce was the one one to put since different groups exceeded the train’s time restrict. 

 

“We spent months training three days a week at 6 a.m., plus an additional week-long emergency response first aid course,” Hansen stated. “We challenged ourselves by practicing different medical triage and underground mine rescue scenarios.” 

 

The person bench challenges examined workforce members’ potential to troubleshoot points with respiration apparatuses generally worn by mine rescue groups. Whereas teamwork is essential, particular person dedication performed a key position in dominating these classes, as Waybright secured the BG-4 bench and Stengel gained the 240-R bio bench. 

 

Within the ultimate class — first help — groups responded to a simulated mine explosion, managing the emergency and aiding actors portraying victims. WVU positioned second on this train. 

 

“The entire team stepped up when needed and we all worked together. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced,” stated Waybright, workforce captain and a mining engineering main from Parkersburg. “These challenges not only tested us mentally, but physically as well. All five of us underground persevered through everything that was thrown at us, and we were able to make decisions that won us the competition.” 

 

Greater than a prestigious title, participation in occasions like this one gives college students with priceless, real-world experiences which may’t be discovered anyplace else. 

 

“The skills I have learned in these competitions have prepared me to work under pressure with a team and as an individual. All of us utilize our strengths to come together to solve our competition problems efficiently and effectively,” Hansen stated. “In terms of career preparation, we have learned how to show up early in the morning consistently, how to solve problems on the fly and how to communicate and collaborate under pressure.” 

 

Brady stated the competitors can also be concerning the networking and connections college students make on a world degree. 

 

“The competition exposes our students to different cultures, methods and problem-solving approaches,” he stated. “Each team member has made lifelong friends from around the world, sharing experiences that will influence them as engineering students and professionals.”
