Thank you for guest lecturing via Zoom to my Fresno State CE191T/291T "Railroad and Highway Geometric Design" class yesterday. By generously sharing your time and Design & Construction of Highway/Railway Grade Crossings knowledge with the students, you are helping to educate the next generation of railroad and highway engineers. The largest employer of Fresno State engineering graduates is the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) so you can be assured that the students you educated in the class will make good use of what they learned and apply it in their professional careers.
