3.00 Credits
This course examines national and international guidance organizations and the United States government rules and regulations that govern the protection of workers, the environment, and the public from both radioactive materials and machine produced radiation, throughout their life cycles. With the objective of presenting as holistic a regulatory picture as possible, the focus will be on the regulations that originate from the following agencies: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC); Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); Department of Transportation (DOT); and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The regulations of each agency will be accessed and analyzed with the emphasis on ""real-world"" regulatory compliance scenarios.

3.00 Credits
Nuclear Materials is a study of materials used in nuclear engineering applications. It is designed to provide an understanding of atomic bonding; crystalline and noncrystalline structures; diffusion; failure analysis and prevention; kinetics; mechanical and thermal behavior; phase diagrams; ceramics; polymers; composites; and materials used in engineering designs. The course also includes descriptions of characteristic properties and methods conducting common tests and interpreting results.

3.00 Credits
Radiation Biophysics is designed to give students an overview of radiation interactions with living systems. It progresses from an explanation of physical interactions to the biological effects of these interactions. Finally, it deals with the late effects of ionization radiation.
-
3.00 Credits
Radiation Interactions is an advanced undergraduate course that builds on fundamental concepts in radiation physics. It is a study of the interaction of charged particles with matter. The course serves two purposes. First, it reviews the physics of the atom, radioactive decay, and the interaction of radiation with matter. Second, it describes the methods of radiation detection and radiation dosimetry and shielding.

3.00 Credits
Nuclear Technology Assessment/Career Planning is an in-depth, student-centered activity that requires the integration of current nuclear employment, nuclear technology self-assessment resulting in the development of a comprehensive vitae, practical career planning and interviewing strategies, and applied advanced mathematics applications to nuclear engineering technology situations. Students will research real-world nuclear employment and participate in career focused activities that includes building a professional resume and knowing how to interview successfully. This includes seeking a job, a promotion, and/or moving to a new skill area. Prerequisites: Completion of MAT-231: Calculus I; MAT-232: Calculus II; PHY-115: Physics I; PHY-116: Physics II; CHE-121: Chemistry I; NUC-303: Nuclear Physics for Technology; EGM-321: Thermodynamics; EGM-323: Heat Transfer; EGM-331: Fluid Mechanics; NUC-365: Reactor Fundamentals; NUC-331: Primary Reactor Systems; NUC-351: Nuclear Instrumentation and Control; NUC-412: Radiation Biophysics or NUC-413: Radiation Interaction or NUC-342: Radiological, Reactor, and Environmental Safety; ELE-211: DC Circuits or ELE-212: AC Circuits; NUC-402: Nuclear Materials; and NUC-358: Radiation Safety Laboratory.

4.00 Credits
Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology Capstone is an in-depth, student-centered activity that requires the integration of theory and practical experience in the field of nuclear energy engineering technology. Students will apply the skills and techniques that they have learned and/or experienced to a specific project. In the project students will identify a real-world nuclear engineering technical problem, issue, event, developing technology, or case study. Students will conduct research by exploring, evaluating, and formulating a solution in a final paper. Upon successful completion of the course, students will demonstrate having met the learning outcomes of the Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology degree program. Prerequisite: NUC-490: Nuclear Technology Assessment/Career Planning.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the prediction of radiological consequences from the dispersion of airborne radioactive effluents. The theoretical models are substantiated by meteorological data and dose assessment. The applications phase will link the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) code RASCAL to nuclear facility licensing, compliance, and emergency planning. Use of the code for analysis and evaluation is incorporated into the course as instruction.
-
3.00 Credits
This course assesses nuclear industry prevention of an accidental, unplanned, and inadvertent self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction that could result in large radiation exposures or release of radioactive materials to the environment. The course emphasis is on the analysis of processes or systems that involve fissile materials, double-contingency principles, independent events in processes that must occur concurrently, and the need for continuous improvements based on operating experience.
-
3.00 Credits
This course presents current nuclear industry incidents, accidents, and issues confronting the future of the commercial nuclear power industry that will be synthesized and evaluated for the creation of continuous improvement recommendations with justifiable evidence. The course requires students to apply a systematic problem-solving approach for the cases discussed. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, new nuclear power plant construction, and small modular reactors are examples of the sources of issues for the course. The course concludes with the project for each student to develop a comprehensive incident analysis report or case study.
-
7.00 Credits
In this course, students are introduced to the profession of nursing. The theoretic constructs of the metaparadigm of nursing serve as a basis for role development and understanding the practice of nursing. Health promotion, disease prevention, safety, and quality of care provide a context for the practice of evidence-based nursing. This course is designed to be taken concurrently with NUR-328: Health Assessment and Health Promotion and NUR-342: Advanced Nursing Practice. This course is campus based with a clinical component and is only open to Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN Program students.
