Overview
About the Program
The Nuclear Science and Engineering program of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) introduces students to thermal-fluid engineering, design thinking, and computer methods which are critical tools for NSE. The program is designed to be a hybrid of hands-on and analytical learning, grounded in an understanding of low energy nuclear physics.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Nuclear Science and Engineering prepares students for careers in the applications and engineering of low energy nuclear physics, and related disciplines spanning mechanical, electrical, computational, materials, and systems engineering. This includes the design, analysis and operation of radiation systems (such as fission/fusion reactors, accelerators and other radiation sources), in various applications of radiation (including biomedical), and for graduate study in a wide range of engineering and physical sciences.
