About Bachelor of Nuclear Engineering

Note: The Nuclear Engineering minor is not accepting new students until further notice. Please contact one of our advisors for additional information.

The field of nuclear engineering covers topics from fundamental particle physics to nuclear power. Example commercial applications where nuclear engineers are utilized are power, medicine, oil exploration, and testing of materials. The nuclear engineering minor familiarizes students with terminology, mathematical applications, theory, and ethics corresponding to common nuclear engineering topics. This minor is open to all engineering, physics, and chemistry majors.

The minor assumes that students will have a background in mathematics and physics equivalent to that covered in the first two years of the engineering curriculum. In mathematics, this would include calculus (MATH 121 - MATH 122) and dynamic engineering systems (ENGR 232). The physics requirements are PHYS 101, PHYS 102 and PHYS 201. In addition, CHEM 101, ENGR 220, and ENGR 231 are needed. Courses taken to meet these requirements will not count toward the minor.
