NEET's objectives are the following:
- lectures on basic nuclear engineering topics including fundamentals of nuclear engineering, nuclear physics, radiation protection, reactor kinetics and dynamics, and reactor systems and safety,
- lectures on nuclear industry and commercial fundamentals including a broad view of economics, planning, competing technologies, and developing technologies
- direct exposure to nuclear project engineering teams and how they work
- a mix of classroom/seminar time and site visits, tours, informational meetings
- meaningful exercises and problem solving to interpret/apply information
- reference materials and documents to provide a permanent reference
- functional competency in English to communicate technical information pertinent to the nuclear energy field and to interact with global nuclear energy partners
