The nuclear engineering technology concentration is designed to provide breadth of training for operators and related technical personnel at the Texas Utilities Electric (TUE) Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station. The program has a strong foundation in mathematics and science and adds nuclear engineering principles ranging from materials science to reactor design. Courses in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electrical circuit theory, electric power generation and automatic control systems augment the curriculum. The program enhances the reactor operator training provided by TUE by stressing the fundamentals of underlying physical and engineering principles behind many plant operating procedures. The nuclear engineering technology concentration is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (Accreditation Director for Engineering Technology, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202).
BS in Engineering Technology
Following is one suggested four-year degree plan. Students are encouraged to see their adviser each semester for help with program decisions and enrollment.
Note: The order of semesters and summer terms has been changed from the print version to accommodate the one-column format of HTML publishing. A conventional Four-Year Plan is available in the .pdf file.
