Courses in this category consist of video recordings of conferences and symposiums related to rail.
Since its initial offering in 2008, the objective of the Railroad Engineering Education Symposium (REES) has been to develop interest among university faculty in railroad transportation engineering, eith the goal of facilitating and supporting their interest in adding railroad engineering content to their engineering courses and curricula.
The American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) is the railway industry’s professional organization that, among its other goals, promotes railway engineering education. In response to this challenge, AREMA’s Education and Training Committee developed the Railway Engineering Education Symposium (REES). REES is intended to foster interest among university faculty in railway engineering with the goal of encouraging and supporting their interest in adding railway engineering content to their current engineering courses and curricula. The inaugural REES was held in June 2008, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Urbana, Illinois.
REES 2016 was part of The Railway
Academic Conference (TRAC) on July 12-14 at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), in conjunction with the annual meeting of
the National University Rail Center (NURail). The seven introductory
REES content modules are available online for downloading and review
prior to the event. REES modules related to civil, electrical and
mechanical engineering were presented on July 12.
