The Carlson Senior Mine Design Competition pushes West Virginia University mining engineering students to take everything they’ve learned in the classroom and apply it to a full-scale, real-world mine planning project.
A new artificial intelligence system developed by West Virginia University engineers could help firefighters respond to wildfires sooner by enabling satellites to detect blazes and automatically adjust their positions for continued monitoring.
Demonstrating speed, precision and adaptability in autonomous vehicle technology, a team of students from the West Virginia University Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources placed third overall at the 28th RoboRacer Autonomous Racing Competition, held during the 2026 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium in Detroit, Michigan.
David Graham, professor in the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at West Virginia University's Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, has been named interim chair of the department, effective July 1.
Jason Gibson didn’t come to West Virginia University with a master plan. He arrived at the WVU Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources planning to study aerospace engineering, following an interest in space and technology, but without a clear picture of where it would lead. That started to change during a walk through the Engineering Sciences Building.
