High-speed Rail (HSR) passenger transportation systems have been, or are being developed in dozens of countries around the world. Recent plans for development of HSR in North America require engineers to understand the engineering, as well as the planning, economics, construction, operation, maintenance, management an dother principles of HSR, in order to sucessfully develop the system.

This course will provide students with a global perspective and real-world experience by completing a hands-on international project. The first part of the course will involve preparation and learning about the projects and host country, working remotely with faculty and students at the partner institution. The course culminates in a 7-10 day trip (January 4-12, 2013) to the host country to gather data, interview stakeholders, and learn about cultural and professional issues. After returning, students will be required to enroll in a 3-credit independent study with an SRIS faculty member to complete the project and a 1-credit seminar to share their findings with other students and faculty involved in the program and prepare a publication on their findings.
