Building on over 10 years of research experience in space
radiation research PVAMU through funding from NASA, DOE and NNSA
has established resources that enhance our research and education
capability.
The curriculum is designed to prepare students to enter directly
into a wide variety of careers in nuclear engineering and radiation
science fields or to continue advanced professional study at the
graduate level. The technical elective course will provide the
knowledge and skills to the students that would be a valuable asset
to any career choice.
The Panther Pipeline Project (PPP) provides opportunities to the
PVAMU students through scholarships, undergraduate and graduate
student research appointments and summer internships. PPP also
provides financial assistance to qualified students to attend
national conferences. These opportunities are provided to support
the PPP primary objective of recruiting and retaining exceptional
students in nuclear engineering education and research.
Degree Plan:
The nuclear engineering option consists of 4 courses (12
hrs)
- 2 Nuclear classes (6 hrs)
- 2 chosen from elective options (6 hrs)
- Nuclear Power
- Space Radiation
- Energy Engineering
The objective of the nuclear engineering Panther Pipeline
Project (PPP) is to introduce students to the fundamentals of
nuclear engineering and radiation science. It is designed to
provide the students with a scope of the field and career
opportunities in it. The program will offer courses, seminars and
field trips that give students a flavor of nuclear sciences and its
related fields.
The Panther Pipeline Program strives to offer educational and
research opportunities in some of the issues at the forefront of
nuclear science and technology. This includes nuclear engineering,
medical physics, space, nuclear materials, advanced energy systems
and environmental fields.
In addition to the more traditional engineering disciplines
(Civil, Chemical, Computer, Electrical and Mechanical), the field
of nuclear engineering has been added to our university educational
programs. The nuclear engineering option is an interdisciplinary,
multi-college effort to provide our students an opportunity to
pursue careers in nuclear science and engineering. The nuclear
engineering option has been added to an ABET accredited, nationally
recognized HBCU, to provide opportunity to the "pioneering"
individuals of our institution. With the renaissance of nuclear
power we invite the engineers of the future to join the revolution
for a bright future.
