Objective:
Utilize knowledge and training from the University of Kentucky to begin a career in the field of Engineering.
Education:
-Bachelors of Science in Mining Engineering: Graduated May 2013 from the University of Kentucky, Lexington KY
-Fundamentals of Engineering Exam: Kentucky Engineering Licensing Board - April 2013 (Passed on first attempt)
-Major courses completed during undergraduate study:
• Mine Design: Two semester project utilizing a team design approach to prepare a prefeasibility report and presentation to industry representatives. The project encompassed core-hole data from Logan County, West Virginia, where an underground room and pillar mine was designed conforming to federal and state regulations. The report consisted of ground control using NIOSH programs, ventilation design using VnetPC, mine planning and reserve study using Carlson Mining software, equipment selection, labor selection, capital, and operational cost analysis using Net Present Value with Rate of Return.
• Surveying: Utilized Total Station for land surveying and mapping purposes.
• Mine Health and Safety: Reviewed MSHA and state mining regulations for a compliant and safe mining operational environment. The class culminated in an individually created mine safety plan.
• Materials Handling Equipment: Included rail haulage, truck haulage, vertical shaft haulage, and conveyor belt haulage system designs.
• Blasting and Explosives: Blasting design and selection of blasting materials based on federal and state regulations with course work in the minimization of negative environmental and population impacts.
• Rock Mechanics: Understanding the properties of rock loading for underground mining and surface slope stability using NIOSH program packages.
• Engineering Economics: Economic analysis using before and after tax calculations, depletion, depreciation, and amortization.
• Mineral Processing and Preparation Design: Design of crushers, grinders, screens, gravity separators, dense media vessels, cyclones, dense media cyclones, froth floatation cells and columns, and flow processing of minerals through plant balancing.
• Mine Ventilation Design: Included MSHA and state regulations for design of underground mine ventilation systems and using VnetPC PRO for mine ventilating simulation.
• Power System Design: Developed an understanding of ac and dc circuits, three phase power design, transformer design, and load flow analysis using load flow analysis software.
-Study Abroad Program: June – July 2011, China University of Mining and Technology, Sponsored by Joy Global
• Attended university mining lectures, conducted experiments, and interacted with Chinese students
• Toured Joy’s Tianjin Mining Equipment Operations facility
• Received 3 hours of University of Kentucky credit for completion of a portfolio
-Software Experience:
Familiar with the following engineering and research programs:
• AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, Vnet PC PRO, NIOSH: AHSM, ALPS, AMSS, ARBS, ARMPS, CMRR, ...
