In the final semester of the Rail Transportation Engineering (RTE) program at 十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校, students work in teams to conduct research, 设计, and build a final project which showcases their four years of railroad engineering education. The capstone course is 设计ed to foster students’ ability to 设计 a railroad-related system, 组件, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, 环境, social, 政治, 道德, 健康与安全, 可制造性, and sustainability by using the techniques, 技能, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. It also serves to enhance students’ ability to function on multidisciplinary teams and communicate effectively.
Students meet with a technical adviser throughout the semester, submit project proposals, complete weekly reports, give formal presentations including a final presentation and demonstration at the end of the semester, which is open to the public, and finally submit a final project report. Some examples of past student projects are shown below.
