  • Annual Report Sept 2017 - August 2018 Annual Report 2017-2018
    Annual Report Sept 2017 - August 2018 Annual Report 2017-2018 Rail Transportation Program Vision: “Develop leaders and technologies for 21st century rail transportation.” Mission: “To participate in the development of rail transportation and related engineering skills for the 21st century through an interdisciplinary and collaborative program that aligns Michigan Tech faculty and students with the demands of the industry.” 2 Director’s Message The Rail Transportation Program (RTP) at Michigan Tech is continuing its work on attracting and educating the next generation of rail transportation and engineering professionals to the industry. The decade of operations has allowed RTP to establish a solid flow of Michigan Tech talent to the industry through internships and full time graduates. We have also created legacy events, such as our annual Railroad Night, Rail and Intermodal Transportation Summer Youth Program, and the Michigan Rail Conference that are today well known to stakeholders within and outside the industry. It has certainly been a decade full of hard work, but it has also been “a fun ride down the track.” Despite the importance of having long-term success with our legacy and other activities, every year also brings some “firsts” with them. This year, we were excited to graduate our first student involved in the Fulbright Scholars Program, as Mr. Alawudin Salim returned to Afghanistan with his MS degree in Civil Engineering. We also had Aaron Dean become the first undergraduate student to receive a second Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) for his work in grade crossing safety. On the research side, we were able to start a highly collaborative project to support our local forest products industry through a unique funding structure by several State of Michigan agencies.
