The Systems Engineering Department will offer a series of courses in Nuclear Engineering as part of a Nuclear Power Generation Option. The plan is to offer six nuclear courses on a rolling basis. All of these offerings emphasize the fundamental as well as the applied aspects of nuclear engineering and as such should be of potential interest to all science and engineering students.
The first course, Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering, will be offered this Fall semester: SYE 3501/001, Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering, 3-credit hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays 8:30 a.m.-9:45 a.m. The pre-requisites for this course are PHYS 2212K, Principles of Physics II and Math 2255, Calculus III. Students should ask their faculty advisors whether this course could satisfy technical electives for their major.
"Fortunately, as part of our existing Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) grant program, we are also able to offer a number of semester based full-tuition scholarships to interested and qualified students," Ghavi said.
Nuclear Engineering is an important field that involves a number of industries including energy, healthcare, defense, food and research to name a few. In the coming years, a number of new nuclear plants are slated to be constructed in the U.S., and sixteen of these plants are scheduled to be located in the Southeast generating a large number of well paying jobs.
In addition to these courses, the Center for Nuclear Studies at SPSU offers several applied Nuclear Power training programs through Continuing Education as well. A number of scholarships are also available for these offerings to qualified students.
For further information and to inquire about scholarships, please contact Dr. Mahmoud Ghavi at mghavi@spsu.edu or call 678-915-5531.
