Our Nuclear Engineering program is designed to present all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle: from mining to plant operation and finally waste management. Within this broad field, you will study courses ranging from nuclear plant chemistry, nuclear materials and heat transport and steam generation systems, to nuclear physics and plant design. Not only will you examine the current operational fleet of reactors, but you will apply your growing knowledge to the future generation of reactors (e.g., Supercritical water reactors, fast reactors and fusion reactors). This four-year program is structured to integrate laboratory courses, field trips and research projects with core course material in order to provide the maximum preparation for this exciting, challenging and essential field. Included in the program are courses such as: Environmental Effects of Radiation; Nuclear Fuel Cycles; Nuclear Plant Operation, Design and Simulation; Nuclear Reactor Design; Nuclear Reactor Kinetics; Radiation Protection; Radioactive Waste and Management Design; and Risk Analysis Methods.
