REES 2012 a success for railway engineering education

摘要

A successful Railway Engineering Education Symposium (REES) was held June 11-13 in Overland Park, Kan. REES 2012 brought together 28 "student professors" and 21 instructors, who represented more than 30 universities from both the United States and Canada. The American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) first put together the REES program in 2008 as a way to promote railway engineering education. The symposium has convened every two years and REES 2012 is the third time the event has been held.
