HAMMOND — Three Purdue University Calumet engineering students earned first place in the recent 2014 AISTech (Association for Iron & Steel Technology) Conference competition for an applied research project in which they identified a problem and solution for steel manufacturer ArcelorMittal.
Hannah Amor of Plymouth, Stephen Builta of Munster and Michael Garcia of St. John were victorious presenting their senior design project, “Roughing Mill Vertical Edger and Strip Grade Analysis Using FEA”, in the Undergraduate Student Project Presentation Contest. The students used Purdue Calumet’s Center for Innovation through Visualization and Simulation (CIVS) to identify a cause and solution to an ArcelorMittal vertical edger failure.
