Nuclear engineering sciences (PHD)

SLO 1     Knowledge        
Identify unknown aspects of nuclear and/or radiological systems and formulate an approach to elucidating those aspects using engineering and/or scientific principles at a level appropriate to a doctoral research.

SLO 2     Knowledge        
Demonstrate proficiency on appropriate experimental or computational techniques used for nuclear engineering research, and use these techniques to investigate various relationships (atomic, nuclear, mechanical, materials performance, etc.) in nuclear systems at a level appropriate to doctoral research.

SLO 3     Skills     
Obtain information from primary literature and technical reports, and integrate that information to reach conclusions regarding the current state-of-the-art and areas in which further research is needed.

SLO 4     Skills
