Nuclear Engineering Technology
 Nuclear
engineering technologists help offer practical applications of
engineering principles to the nuclear industry. They apply their
knowledge of math and science to the safe application of nuclear
principles for a variety of industries including power, health, and
instrumentation and control technology. They may be involved in
developing waste disposal systems, new medical techniques or equipment,
and advanced manufacturing systems. They can be involved in
reactor operations, health physics, or quality control.
 Preparation
Those interested in a
career in nuclear engineering technology should consider reviewing engineering
technology programs that are
accredited by
ABET, Inc. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET accredited, you should be sure that the university
is regionally accredited. Students take courses such as fluid mechanics,
thermodynamics, electrical circuit theory, electric power generation,
automatic control systems, materials science, and reactor design. The following is a current list of all universities
offering accredited degree programs in nuclear engineering technology.
Professional Organizations
 American Nuclear Society
Nuclear Energy Institute
Society of Nuclear Medicine
