Research Assistant Professor Pasi Lautala (CEE) and Professor Bill Sproule (CEE) were invited speakers at the recent Railroad Engineering Education Symposium (REES2012) in Overland Park, Kansas.
The event bought together engineering faculty from universities across North America to learn about the railroad industry and research opportunities--and to take away materials that can be incorporated into their courses and curriculum.
The symposium is funded through the American Railway and Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association, as well as railroads, rail consultants and suppliers.
Lautala was also the coordinator of the academic program and a member of panels on railroad courses and program development.
