Railway Engineering is a comprehensive course that covers the fundamental principles and practices of railway engineering, including the design, construction, and operation of railway systems. Students will learn about railway track and infrastructure, including rails, sleepers, and ballast, as well as railway alignment and geometry, including horizontal and vertical curves. The course also covers railway signaling and control systems, railway rolling stock, including locomotives, passenger cars, and freight cars, and railway operations and management, including scheduling and dispatching. Additionally, students will learn about railway safety and risk management, and advanced topics in railway engineering, such as high-speed rail and maglev systems. Upon completing this course, students will have a thorough understanding of railway engineering principles and be able to apply them in real-world scenarios. This course is ideal for civil, mechanical, electrical, and transportation engineering students, as well as professionals working in the railway industry.
