Programs in Nuclear Engineering
Quick Links
The nuclear programs in the Department of Chemical Engineering offer a series of courses and research opportunities that allow specialization in the field of nuclear engineering. At the undergraduate level the program supports a formal Nuclear Engineering Option for Chemical Engineering students and a Nuclear Science and Engineering Minor for other engineering and science students at the University. At the graduate level the program offers an M.S. degree in Energy Engineering with a Nuclear Option.
Graduates with focused training via the undergraduate Nuclear Engineering Option or Nuclear Science and Engineering Minor programs, can help the nuclear industry face the technical challenges of the future in areas such as continued safe operation of existing nuclear power plants, improved plant performance, design of new power plants, safe disposal of radioactive waste, and other advanced industrial and medical applications of nuclear technology.
