Characterizes the status of nuclear engineering education in the United States and estimates the supply and demand for nuclear engineers - both graduate and undergraduate. This book also addresses the range of material that the nuclear engineering curriculum should cover and how it should relate to allied disciplines.
Given current downward trends in graduate and undergraduate enrollment in the nuclear engineering curriculum, there is a fundamental concern that there will not be enough nuclear engineering graduates available to meet future needs. This book characterizes the status of nuclear engineering education in the United States, estimates the supply and demand for nuclear engineers—both graduate and undergraduate—over the next 5 to 20 years, addresses the range of material that the nuclear engineering curriculum should cover and how it should relate to allied disciplines, and recommends actions to help ensure that the nation's needs for competent graduate and undergraduate nuclear engineers can be met.
