The quotes below are about this issue:
There is movement away from mechanical and towards electronic controls.
| "As far as the mining industry, the trend is more and more moving from mechanical to electrical components. The components in the machines nowadays—the shovels, the trucks, the drills—they're all electric-drive. Maybe the mechanical program needs to emphasize a little bit more electrical. I know that more of the programs, even the millwright over in [MnSCU college], have introduced an electrical module course in their two-year curriculum. So, they've recognized the fact that a millwright is now going to be dealing with electricity." | Northeast |
