Day 7: June 11, 2013


I spent most of the day working on the final project presentation. At 12:00 pm we had the RailTEC weekly meeting, where Francesco gave a presentation on the flying ballast risk assessment. He explained some of the most important causes of this phenomenon.Later, he explained some of the research that it is currently being done around the world in this area and listed some possible mitigation measures. I thought it was a very interesting topic. I really enjoy these meetings as they are a GREAT way to learn more about a wide variety of topics.

On the afternoon, Xiang and Jesus briefly showed us what are the important factors to consider when preparing a professional presentation. I have to say that they both are really helpfull, as they are always willing to answer any of our questions. After this "mini" tutorial Eli and I worked on the final presentation. We will probably have it finished by Thursday.
