Department of Mechanical Engineering

Must have five courses from the following:

Required courses are NUC E 401, NUC E 402, and NUC E 405

Optional courses are ME 433, NUC E 410, and NUC E 411

Enrollment Restrictions: NUC E 402, 405, 410, and 411 have restricted access. Students must have permission from the Nuclear Engineering Minor program director to enroll.

*M E 433 (optional course) can be taken any fall semester since it is not a prerequisite for any other courses in the minor.

**NUC E 402 (required course) can be taken any spring semester after completing the NUC E 401 prerequisite.
