      Overview

      The Department of Nuclear Engineering (NE) offers undergraduate and graduate degree in nuclear engineering.  General department policies on admission and grading, and detailed descriptions of the programs, are listed in the department Undergraduate and Graduate pages of this Catalog.


      In the Fall 2014 term the former Department of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering reformed into two departments:  Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Department of Nuclear Engineering.  Beginning with the Spring 2015 term, courses offered under the subject code of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering (CHNE) will be offered under one of two new subject codes:  Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE), and Nuclear Engineering (NE).  Refer to the table below to determine the new subject code and course number for courses offered previously under CHNE.
