Nuclear Sciences and Engineering Concentration

Concentration and Minor in Nuclear Science and Engineering

This interdisciplinary program aims to produce engineering and science graduates who understand clearly the benefits and risks of nuclear technologies and who will seriously consider employment in nuclear industry and government.

Students may obtain an Interdisciplinary Concentration or Minor in Nuclear Science and Engineering, in conjunction with a traditional degree. Those majors include civil, chemical and biological, computer, electrical, financial and risk, or mechanical engineering, or the physical or computational sciences (all are majors currently offered by the NYU Tandon School of Engineering).

Concentration in Nuclear Science and Engineering

The concentration consists of three courses taken typically during the junior and senior years. Students can use the available technical and free electives in their curriculum to take these courses.

• PH-UY 3103 Fundamentals of Applied Nuclear Physics 3 Credits
• PH-UY 3503 Introduction to Radiation Physics and Dosimetry 3 Credits
• ME-UY 4373 Introduction to Nuclear Engineering 3 Credits
