MSE in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences (Materials and Radiation Effects)

A Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NA&ME) gives you specialized knowledge in designing ships, submarines, and marine structures. You’ll learn advanced engineering skills, work on real projects, and gain hands-on experience. This degree leads to more job options, higher salaries, leadership roles, and prepares you to drive innovation in the maritime industry. The Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) is a traditional 30 credit coursework option. Take Required Course – MATH for Naval Architects (NA 500 3 credits), these credits will also count towards the required 15 NA&ME 500 level credits Take at least One (1) COGNATE Course (level 400 and up) – An Engineering or another Math course outside NA&ME A minimum of 18 credit hours of NA&ME courses – At least 15 (of the 18 required NA&ME) credits need to be at the 500 level or above IF NEEDED – Remaining credits will be of approved coursework (level 400 and up) – Not all students will need this if they already have earned 30 credits by fulfilling the above requirements. The progress of any technology depends on the performance of the materials it employs. Materials used in nuclear technology suffer from degradation due to radiation. The goal of the research on nuclear materials is to understand the effects of radiation and use the knowledge gained to improve materials resistance for applications in energy production or storage of radioactive materials. The changes that occur in materials by radiation can also be exploited to develop materials with special properties that cannot be achieved by conventional methods of synthesis. This has opened up new areas of research involving the use of radiation effects and radiation-based techniques for materials synthesis and characterization.
