SHARING UD’S RAILROAD CAPABILITIES
UD, Morgan State partner to create new engineering program at Baltimore HBCU
The Railroad Engineering and Safety program at University of Delaware is housed within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. We offer courses to undergraduate, graduate, and professional & continuing education students.
Offerings
Our professional short courses are not academic credit based, but instead carry Continuing Education Units (CEU) credits. Courses range in length from a day to a week and can be given via Zoom, on UD’s Newark DE campus, or onsite (for specific organizations).
Our certificate programs are designed for engineering professionals who wish to expand their knowledge of railroad engineering and related engineering disciplines.
All degree courses for Railroad Engineering and Safety are available in remote learning format (UD Capture) and can be made available as an off-cycle option.
Upcoming Events
Research
Faculty and students of the Railway Engineering and Safety program at the University of Delaware conduct advanced research on railroad engineering, safety, operations and economics for the North American and international railway and transit industry. Areas of focus include:
- Rail fatigue and rail life management
- Track strength and performance
- Turnout safety and maintenance
- Safety, risk analysis and maintenance
- Vehicle/track dynamics and interaction
- Track inspection technologies
- Optimization of components’ lives and maintenance costs
- Rail transit and sustainable urban infrastructure
