Abstract:

FRA supported Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech), in collaboration with Pennsylvania State University Altoona (Penn State Altoona) and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), to establish a Tracks to the Future: Railroad Transportation and Engineering summer program for high school students. Phase 1 of this program was offered in two formats: 1) a traditional, week-long, on-campus program (at Michigan Tech only) and 2) a hybrid version of the program at Michigan Tech, Penn State Altoona, and UIUC. FRA funded the course development, program fees for the students (including meals and housing), and field visit expenses at the host site. Rail industry companies provided limited travel support for students in need to reach the host site.
