Free, open to the community. To celebrate National Engineers Week, Penn State Great Valley is presenting a free event: The Behind the Scenes Story of the Chilean Miners Rescue. A group from Schramm Inc., a West Chester-based manufacturer and supplier for the hydraulic drill industry, was part of the international rescue team for 33 men who were trapped for 69 days nearly half a mile below the earth’s surface in a Chilean mine. Peter Christian, vice president of engineering at Schramm, shares the story of how his group assisted with the rescue. Register at www.sgps.psu.edu/events
