Tracks to the Future
T2F
Welcome to the Tracks to the Future program in Railroad
Engineering, a summer program for students entering grades 9-12. This site is developed for faculty/teachers interested in
learning more about the curricula, or potentially even use some of the
materials/activities in their classroom. Students can also explore the
materials, although we highly encourage those eligible for participating
in the Tracks to the Future to visit our web site
and look for the next time it's being offered. The modules 1-6 provide a
great majority of the educational materials covered during the program.
Modules 1-4 were completed as a synchronous session via Zoom and Canvas
platforms, while Modules 5-6 were on-campus activities conducted in
laboratory environment. We have tried to provide the materials

Railroads,
the high tech and environmentally sensitive transportation mode! Don’t
believe us? This course will help you learn why railroads remain the most
energy-efficient transportation mode and what forms modern railroad
track, equipment, and communications/control systems might take. Learn
how rail compares with other modes and leads the charge in reducing
transportation greenhouse gas emissions! Find out how it all works:
classroom/virtual sessions, hands-on activities, and plenty of field
visits to all sorts of railroad facilities! See below for description
of traditional (on-campus) and hybrid program options.
