Educational Objectives for Degree Program in Nuclear Engineering
The following Program Educational Objectives have been established:
-
Application of Core Knowledge and Technical Competency --- Our graduates will make significant contributions in the nuclear enterprise, either in industry, research, or educational careers as measured by peer recognition, visible leadership roles, and other evidence of professional accomplishments. Our graduates will broaden and deepen their knowledge and technical competency as they advance in their careers. In addition to on-the-job learning and training, our graduates will take initiative in acquiring further knowledge on their own and continue to pursue lifelong learning, including formal academic or continuing education courses as well as informal means such as reading journals in the field, participating in technical organizations, and attending technical conferences to keep current with developments in their chosen field.
- Professional Collaboration and Communication --- As their careers develop, our graduates will become increasingly involved in collaborative work with teams composed of colleagues from other science and technology fields. To that end, they will communicate effectively with others to perform tasks, to make decisions, and to assume leadership roles.
- Professionalism -- Our graduates will develop the highest standards of professionalism in their careers. They will recognize ethical issues when they arise and respond in an ethical manner. Our graduates will also take into consideration the economic, environmental, and societal consequences of their actions as they engage in their work. Our graduates will increase their awareness of and involvement with issues in the nuclear enterprise, including the nuclear power industry and the many non-power applications of nuclear science and technology, particularly as these fields evolve years after these graduates have left ISU.
