Overview
Education
Our program is housed within the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and located in Scott Lab, a building with state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities. Our research is further strengthened by the presence of Ohio State's Nuclear Reactor Lab (OSU-NRL). The Nuclear Engineering programme is offered by The Ohio State University.
Our graduates work for a variety of organizations, including research laboratories, design organizations, nuclear power plants, academic institutions and regulatory organizations. Students work side-by-side with faculty on projects for research sponsors such as the Department of Energy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NASA, DOE national laboratories, nuclear power plants and others.
