Abstract:

In its inaugural year, NURail concentrated efforts on promoting renewed faculty and student interest in railway engineering education and research. One of the main objectives for 2012 was to continue leading development of academic content for the Railway Engineering Education Symposium (REES), a collaborative effort with the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association and other industry groups. REES provides a venue where professors can learn railway fundamentals and are provided with lecture materials on railway topics. The original 2008 event proved such a tremendous success that it was repeated in 2010 and again following the formation of NURail in 2012. A total of 90 professors have participated in the REES events and, based on follow-up surveys, numerous universities subsequently incorporated REES materials either into existing courses or developed new courses specializing in rail. Among NURail partners, eight new classes have been developed that focus on rail, for a total of 30.
