AN adventure into NUCLEAR ENGINEERING By: Alaina Bott and Justin Monito NUC E 297B Penn State University

What is nuclear engineering? What people think they do: Blow ourselves up! Wear Hazmat suits to work. Glow green in the dark.

WHAT is nuclear engineering? What they actually do: - Nuclear engineers harness the power of the atom to help solve large and difficult problems facing humanity. Problems such as: - Pollution - Diseases - Medical diagnostics - Security for radioactive materials - Clean energy

How do you get there? Many naval programs pay for further schooling as well Prepare yourself with math and physics courses in high school Accredited college programs The “Nuclear” Navy

Accredited Universities Most companies require at least a bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Engineering from an accredited university. Universities that offer accredited (ABET) nuclear engineering programs: - Penn State University! - Michigan University - North Carolina State University - Oregon State University - Georgia Tech University - University of New Mexico

Engineering: Research, design, and operation Design power plants that create a greener form of energy compared to other energy sources The design, production, handling, and use of nuclear fuel Safe disposal of waste produced by the generation of nuclear energy New nuclear applications and detecting radioactive materials

Non-weaponry military applications The Nuclear Navy -A global force for good! The Navy protects our country using nuclear technology -Nuclear Aircraft Carriers -Nuclear Submarines

medicine Develop machines that image the human body Radiation therapy to treat different types of cancer Sterilize medical equipment such as rubber gloves, gauze, and bandages
