Engineering Study of Rail Systems and Infrastructure (CEGE0060)

The course will focus on the asset and system engineering associated with typical UK rail networks and how they need to be integrated to provide a railway route and service capability. The student will explore and learn about the types of railway modes within the UK, the typical rail vehicles operated and the principal network rail systems together with the associated built rail environment that supports the required rail journeys. Using this learning, the students will further develop an appropriate engineering solution for a given business scenario. Further, the student will reflect and report on the knowledge they have individually gained and how they successfully applied to the Solution. Through a structured given business scenario the student will gain a solid knowledge of the rail systems and infrastructure and their engineering that enable the operator to provide the rail journey and the network capability. The student will obtain a fundamental knowledge of rail operations, rail systems and infrastructure that constitute a rail network and from this knowledge specifically apply it in order to provide a design/operational solution to satisfy the objects of the scenario. The student will obtain a greater appreciation of the railway domain and its engineering and operational requirements. It should also enable the student to have significant rail orientation if seeking a future graduate career path within the industry.
