Nuclear engineering focuses on enabling the peaceful use of the atom to provide electricity, process heat and make products that utilize radiation and radioactive materials. Within the School of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) there are numerous opportunities for students to gain practical knowledge and experience in many areas of the field. Research, development and testing are the hallmarks of our Ph.D., M.S. and M.Eng. programs, and undergraduate students often become involved in the research activities conducted by our faculty and graduate students.
