For those EE and ME engineering specialties, a student should be able to complete the minor with a combination of required courses, judicious choice of electives and just a few additional courses.   See your departmental advisor for details. Additionally, Physics majors and majors in other engineering disciplines will be encouraged to consider this minor, although more than two additional courses will likely be required.

To receive a minor in Nuclear Engineering, a student must complete the following courses with a grade of ‘C’ or better in each:
            • NE 3301     Introduction to Nuclear Engineering (Prerequisite: MATH                                       3319 or MAE 3360; PHYS 1444)
            •  NE 4302         Nuclear Reactor Theory / Analysis (Prerequisite: NE 3301)
            •  NE 4303         Reactor Thermal Hydraulics (Prerequisite: NE 3301; MAE 3314                                       or MAE 3309)

plus any three of the following courses with a grade of ‘C’ or better in each:

            •  MAE 3311      Thermodynamics II
            •  MAE 3309      Thermal Engineering
            •  MAE 3314      Heat Transfer
            •  MAE 4347      Heat Exchanger Design
            •  MAE 4310      Introduction to Automatic Control
            •  EE 3302         Fundamentals of Power Systems
            •  EE 4314         Control Systems
            •  PHYS 3446     Nuclear and Particle Physics
            •  PHYS 4531     Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics
