Academic and Career Goals - Nuclear Power Generation

NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION (CERTIFICATE) (CERTIFICATE) p>The nuclear power generation (NPG) graduate certificate is a multidisciplinary professional option within the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering. The goal of the NPG certificate program is to prepare students and professionals from a variety of engineering and scientific disciplines to work effectively in the nuclear power industry. The certificate program offers students a comprehensive, interdisciplinary education as courses from multiple academic units constitute both the core and elective classes available to the student. Students typically begin with the study of nuclear science and engineering fundamentals. Subsequent core courses focus on reactor theory, power plant dynamics, structural materials, and operational safety. Elective courses allow students to tailor the remaining studies toward facilitating their career goals and focusing on studies tied to their discipline. The primary mode of instructional delivery is online using the facilities of the Engineering Office of Global Outreach and Extended Education (GOEE).
