Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering (BSNE) program, housed in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME), aims to educate and prepare individuals for careers in nuclear engineering. The BSNE curriculum is broad in scope and strongly based in the fundamentals essential for professional practice, life-long learning, and advanced study at the graduate level. It focuses on nuclear science and technologies, such as nuclear reactor design, operation, simulation, and maintenance, as well as nuclear energy production, radiation detection, and computational methods. The program also covers topics related to nuclear materials, security, and policies. Design being a unique element of the engineering profession, students' design experience is developed and integrated throughout the degree program. The program emphasizes the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct and prepares students to tackle the complex challenges associated with the next generation of nuclear science and engineering. The curriculum is developed to meet the criteria for the institutional generation education core, ABET accreditation, and existing articulation and transfer pathways.

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.

It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.

A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):

Pre-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment provided to F-1 students before completion of their course of study.
Post-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment available to F-1 students after completing their course of study.
24 Month STEM Extension: Students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses can a 24-month extension after their initial Post-Completion OPT authorization.
