CEE 498.RCE Railroad Civil Engineering
- Description: This course provides an in-depth understanding of railroad track system civil engineering concepts with an emphasis on design and maintenance. Track components and subsystems will be studied both individually, and as they interact as part of the overall track system. Students will gain a clear understanding of track loading response, design, evaluation, and maintenance. Included will be topics on track standards, condition assessment, and track maintenance and repair planning. A local field trip will be arranged to inspect and study railroad industry track installations.
Texts: Hay 1982. Railroad engineering (selected chapters)
Other selected readings
- Description: This class is an introduction to how and why the principal railroad engineering technologies are used. The course begins with a brief introduction to the technical and economic background of the North American railroad industry, and then provides an introduction to track system structure, train energy calculations, locomotive power and braking requirements, rail vehicle design, vehicle/track interaction, freight and passenger equipment and operations, and railroad traffic control systems. The central focus of this class is to understand how the key technologies involved in railroad design and operation contribute to, and interact, to affect the overall transportation efficiency and capacity of railroads. It serves those students desiring a single course to give them an understanding of the role and function of this transport mode, and it also serves as the introductory class for students pursuing a curriculum in railroad engineering. There will be two field trips, one local and one to the Chicago area to inspect various railroad industry facilities and meet with industry professionals.

CEE 498.RT Railway Technology, Engineering and Operations
- Description: This course provides an introduction to conceptual, methodological, and mathematical foundations of analysis and design of transportation systems, including review of probabilistic modeling and application of discrete choice models to demand analysis.
CEE 498.DM Analysis and Design of Transportation Systems I
- Description: Operations research techniques for modeling system performance and design of transportation service; routing and scheduling problems, network equilibrium, and spatially distributed queuing systems.
CEE 498.SM Analysis and Design of Transportation Systems II
- This course provides an overview of the air transport industry, focusing on the planning and operations of airlines and airports, with emphasis on (1) the application of quantitative methods (OR modeling and optimization tools, statistical and econometric techniques, computer simulation, etc.) to solve problems in planning and operations; (2) the interactions among organizational structure, business decision-making processes, and information/data flow, focusing on the strategic positioning of task automation and decision support systems as well as corporate data warehousing and quarry control; and (3) the background and discussions of current institutional, financial, and operational issues derived from global/regional deregulation and "free sky" competition, airport liberalization and privatization, emerging technologies both in airspace traffic management and aircraft manufacturing, air/surface or air/sea intermodal passenger and freight transport, and competing high-speed rail traffic management and aircraft manufacturing, air/surface or air/sea intermodal passenger and freight transport, and competing high-speed rail services in a multimodal system.
CEE 498.APO Air Transportation Planning and Operations
Prerequisite: CEE 407 or consent of instructor. 3 undergraduate hours or 4 graduate hours.
- Stabilization of aggregates and soils with cement, lime, bituminous materials, and other stabilizing agents; emphasis on basic stabilization reactions, properties of stabilized materials, and composition design. Prerequisite: CEE 310 or consent of instructor. 4 graduate hours.
CEE 423. Highway Materials Stabilization
