核工程学硕士

英格兰 与MS学位相比，该学位的取向更为实际。工学硕士 该计划将完成由学生和作为学生的学术顾问的教授选择的研究项目。课程工作通常侧重于与研究项目主题相关的主题。侧重于反应堆物理学和设计，热工液压，健康物理学和反应堆材料，核工程计划提供了一系列适合几乎所有课程的课程。此外，该计划还包括一个颇具竞争力的高级设计计划，拥有两个世界一流的研究设施，并且是美国核学会一个活跃的学生专区的所在地。在伦斯勒大学，裂变反应堆物理学，反应堆工程学，健康物理学领域都可以集中研究，热工液压，可靠性和安全性以及反应堆材料。伦斯勒大
Rensselaer's Nuclear Engineering program is home to over 130 undergraduate and graduate students. With focuses on reactor physics and design, thermal-hydraulics, health physics, and reactor materials, the Nuclear Engineering program offers a diverse set of courses to fit almost any curriculum. Additionally, the program includes a competitive Senior Design Program, maintains two world-class research facilities, and is home to a highly active student section of the American Nuclear Society. The NE Department was officially formed in 1960 and is one of the oldest such programs in the U.S. The construction of the accelerator facility was completed in 1961 and the facility would soon be named after Professor Gaerttner who was instrumental in establishing NE at Rensselaer and who served as NE's first departmental head. Within a few years, the NE Department at Rensselaer awarded its first PhD degrees and then B.S. degrees.<br><br>At Rensselaer, concentrations are available in fission reactor physics, reactor engineering, health physics, thermal-hydraulics, reliability and safety, and reactor materials. Boasting unique and state-of-the-art research facilities, Rensselaer students have access to a critical reactor, a large electron accelerator, and modern computer interfacing technology. With today's need for inexpensive sources of energy, Rensselaer nuclear engineering graduates are in great demand for positions in industry or graduate study. Additionally, there are exciting possibilities in space power propulsion, fusion reactor engineering, medicine, and national defense.<br><br>The M.Eng. degree is perceived to be more practically oriented in comparison to the M.S. degree. Students in the M.Eng. program will complete a research project chosen by the student and a professor who serves as the student's academic adviser. Course work typically focuses on subjects related to the research project topic.<br><br>In addition to the Institute requirements and those listed above, the M.Eng. requires a total of 30 credits, 6 of which come from the master's research project. All courses used to earn the master's degree must be taken at the 4000- or 6000-level. No 4000-level (or 6000-level) courses used to complete undergraduate degree requirements may be counted towards the completion of a graduate degree.
