Nuclear Engineering

Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in nuclear engineering will gain a foundational understanding of nuclear energy, reactor design and options, radiation shielding, nuclear/radiological regulations, and radiation sensing and instrumentation.

Curriculum

The undergraduate curriculum includes engineering science courses in the sophomore and junior years and engineering application courses in the junior and senior years. Laboratory courses, and humanities and social science electives are found throughout the curriculum. The laboratory and application courses provide opportunities for development of student creativity, use of design methodology and other aspects of engineering design.

The entire curriculum serves as preparation for the nuclear engineering design project, where teams of students are assigned to work on realistic engineering problems supplied by sponsors from national laboratories and industry. This brief experience gives new nuclear engineering graduates the practical knowledge and confidence to move quickly into productive and satisfying careers.
