Student chapter highlight University of Alberta

摘要

By having the AREMA chapter present at the event, we had direct access to the next generation of engineers and could present railway engineering as a potential career path. In 2013, more than 7,000 people visited the University of Alberta Open House. Do you have any upcoming events? In the near future, the AREMA student chapter is focusing on acting as a bridge and fostering a connection between leaders in the Canadian railway industry and current undergraduate and graduate students. To accomplish this, we are currently in the process of organizing a railway engineering industry showcase event. The event would entail representatives from different companies inside the railway industry giving presentations to current students on career opportunities open to new graduates, followed by an informal reception. The hope is to attract interested students and connect them with companies actively involved in railway engineering.
