The required courses for this degree are:
- NRE 6101 Transport Fundamentals
- NRE 6102 Plasma Physics
- NRE 6201 Reactor Physics
- NRE 6401 Advanced Nuclear Engineering Design (required for the nonthesis option)
- NRE 6756 Radiation Physics
*NRE 6102 Plasma Physics, NRE 6201 Reactor Physics and NRE 6756 Radiation Physics are taught as the second course in a two-course sequence, and knowledge of the material covered in the first course is assumed. Students who have not had an undergraduate course in plasma physics covering the material in NRE 4610 Intro to Fusion are advised to take that course as a make-up prior to taking NRE 6102; student who have not had an undergraduate course in reactor physics covering the material in NRE4204 are advised to take that course as a make-up prior to taking NRE 6201; and students who have not had an undergraduate course in radiation physics or the equivalent covering the material in NRE 3301 are advised to take that course as a make-up prior to taking NRE 6756. NRE 4610, 4204 and 3301 are offered Fall semester and NRE 6102, 6201 and 6756 are offered Spring semester.
The courses in the MSNE curriculum require mathematics at least at the level found in advanced engineering mathematics courses. Knowledge of solution of PDE boundary value problems by separation of variables and eigenfunction expansion, Fourier and LaPlace transforms and orthogonal polynomial expansions is required, and knowlede of vectors, tensors and complex analysis is desirable. MATH 4581 or the equivalent is recommended.
Courses from the School of Mathematics as well as ISyE 6401, ISyE 6739, and NRE 6103 fulfill the mathematics requirement. Any course in which you receive a grade of D or F, or any course taken for a nonletter grade (except the thesis, transfer credit, or advanced standing) do not meet these course requirements. All courses must be at the 4000 level and above. No more than six semester hours at the 4000 level can be counted toward the degree requirements.
