• Abstract:
  This project consisted of hosting local Champaign-Urbana, Illinois home school students for a visit to ; the Rail Transportation and Engineering Center (RailTEC) at the University of Illinois at Urbana- ; Champaign (UIUC). Beyond visiting RailTEC, students were able to visit other aspects of the ; Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE). This NURail educational project was ; conducted to serve the students by introducing them to the basics of rail engineering in hopes that they ; would be further encouraged to consider transportation in general and rail specifically in the future. ; Additionally, it is our vision that the materials that were created will be used for future outreach ; efforts.
