STEM and Chilean Miner Rescue

Did you know there is a great example of Engineering in STEM? During the past two months there have been 33 miners trapped in a Gold and Copper mine. New techniques in drilling and a new type of drill bit have helped these miners escape on October 13, 2010. This shows the potential and power of using Engineering to solve many of the world’s problems. Studying Engineering and Technology could put you in the position to help so many people, just like during the Chilean Mine Rescue.
