Benefit from an experienced teaching staff to enhance your professional career in the railroad engineering sector with a focus on Rolling Stock"

The evolution that rail transport has undergone since its beginnings with steam has been marked by the development and improvement of combustion engines and electric motors. This has allowed the development of new locomotives with greater capacity and power. For this reason, the postgraduate certificate in Railroad Rolling Stock specifically addresses the engineering and technology related to this sector. The program will guide students to achieve the above objective. Providing up-to-date knowledge of all these new aspects and technological trends of the railroad, allowing them to have greater professional skills in the field or railroads. 

In this way, the different subsystems that make up this type of vehicle will be analyzed, such as the body, the cab, the doors, the interior design, the electrical circuits, the traction chain, the braking system and the signaling, communications and control and diagnosis systems. It also includes some specific topics oriented to the technical classification of Railroad Rolling Stockand the specific maintenance of all of them. Reference will also be made not only to electric traction, but also to diesel, diesel-electric and hybrid traction. Finally, a specific topic has been dedicated to the dynamics of the vehicle itself, which is complementary to the dynamic part also considered in the civil infrastructure module. 

The experience of the teaching staff in the field of railroads, in different areas and approaches such as administration, industry and the engineering company, has made it possible to develop this practical and complete content oriented to the new challenges and needs of the sector. Unlike other programs in the market, the approach is international and not only oriented to one type of country and/or system. 

A 100% online postgraduate certificate that provides the student with the ease of being able to study it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality according to the current times with all the guarantees to position the engineer in a highly demanded sector.
