Who needs Railway Engineers? Potential Employers (at home and abroad) Railway Companies or Local / Regional Transport Companies e.g.: Deutsche Bahn: approx. 100 employments per year Railway Industry complains a lack of graduates with railway knowledge Consulting Engineers Supervisory Bodies Other Authorities and Mandating Bodies for Local and Regional Transport Organisations (Assoc. of Transportation Companies, of Railway Industry, ) Juni 07 Master of Transportation Systems 6
