by Arthur R.;Wright Foster

Nuclear Engineering is a relatively new field of study; only in the past fifty years have the applications of the field been realized. Nuclear Engineering deals with the production and application of nuclear energy and the use of radioactive materials. As a Nuclear Engineering major, you'll be building a strong foundation of math and science that will enable you to pursue a career in one of many exciting fields. You'll learn about nuclear reactors and how to ensure their safety; the behavior of heat and fluids; and how to measure radiation and decrease its harmful effect on people and the environment.
