	Mine engineering research - Manitoba engineers were involved from the late 80s into 90s in the development of computer controlled underground hauling systems, which was a first for INCO operations. The small mines research group in collaboration with the University of Newcastle and others in Canada and U.S also spear headed development of Rock Tunnel Boring machines. This work was led by Dave Phelan, P.Eng. from U of M.
