• Abstract:
  The objective of this project is to develop curricular materials for the Rail Engineering and Education ; Symposia held in the summers of 2012 and 2014. ; Description of Activities ; The main approach to accomplish the activity is to develop and deliver power point facilitated lectures. ; Two topics are included: Introduction to Railway Infrastructure and KENTRACK 4.0 Railway ; Trackbed Structural Design and Analysis Program and Tutorial. The intended target group is collegelevel ; educators. Students are generally civil engineering instructors seeking advanced knowledge of ; rail engineering for use in their own classes. The main deliverables are the two accompanying power ; point presentations (2014 revised versions). Several other education-oriented papers and presentations ; were prepared and delivered as described below (list of activities). ; Outcomes ; The major results of this project are two modules prepared and delivered at both 2012 and 2014 REES ; symposia. Included in the appendices of this report are the latest versions of these two presentations as ; well as a list of other education related papers and presentations produced. ; Conclusions/Recommendations ; The REES materials have been made available on the NURail and Kentucky Civil Engineering ; Department web sites.
