Instructors Shawn Crow and Ethan Backus from Braxton County High School were able to bring their engineering class to Winfield Locks & Dam on March 30th to spend time looking at various applications of structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering techniques at the project. Winfield Assistant Lock Master Zeph Clary provided a tour of the facility and explained how a lock & dam works and what it takes to keep everything running from day to day. OR-TM engineers Scott Kinzel and Mike Stickler were on hand to discuss career opportunities with USACE and answer any questions the students may have about the project or engineering in general. Steve Hurst, the District Diving Coordinator was able to bring one of the District’s underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and demonstrate how it can be used to make underwater inspections of various structures before, or perhaps in lieu of, a dive team.
