Nuclear Science and Engineering Minor

The Nuclear Engineering Option consists of a sequence of four courses that are specifically designed to give a traditional chemical engineer concentrated training in a variety of nuclear technologies. The course selection integrates the key nuclear-related subjects usually taken as part of an undergraduate degree program in Nuclear Engineering. The four course sequence is designed to be taken during the junior and senior years, one course per semester. These courses satisfy the technical and Chemical Engineering elective requirements in the curriculum. One technical elective is required and must be selected from the following list of courses.
