Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics - Nuclear

In today’s rapidly changing technological landscape, the traditional lines between science and engineering are increasingly blurred. As an engineering physics major, you will gain the scientific rigor and hands-on training needed to address design challenges in the 21st century. The B.S. in Engineering Physics program builds on the existing strengths and capacities of UMass Lowell’s physics department and adds in specialized engineering courses. As a result, you can explore your individual interests, build the foundation for interdisciplinary graduate programs, and prepare for diverse careers in the engineering and technology sectors.Nuclear Option, which includes specialized Nuclear Engineering courses alongside fundamental physics, mathematics and chemistry classes. You will study topics such as Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering, Nuclear Reactor Theory and Nuclear Reactor Engineering.
