Course Overview
Do you wonder how your train arrives at the right platform at the right time every day? It takes more than just tracks and trains for railway systems to work efficiently. The demand for transportation, for both passengers and freight, changes continuously. Innumerable advanced, technical, and complex operational solutions have to be employed to accommodate these changes. Take the Railway Engineering: An Integral Approach online course to dive deep into these and understand their workarounds.
The Railway Engineering: An Integral Approach certification syllabus covers topics such as the railway system’s history and evolution; the different components involved in railway systems, and how they interact. Students also learn about the social and economic impact of railway systems and ways to improve the maintenance and monitoring of railway tracks. External factors that disturb the proper functioning of railway systems and ways to prevent and deal with them are also covered in the curriculum.
The Delft University of Technology’s renowned experts and industry professionals will instruct you in the Railway Engineering: An Integral Approach program. The course is the first-of-its-kind MOOC focusing on railway systems. The curriculum also features a game wherein you can apply the concepts learned, make decisions, and analyze their consequences. The learners can either take the course by paying the fee or audit the programme free of cost. While taking the programme for free, the candidates can access it only for a limited period.
