[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Nuclear E is a serious option, one should filter on availability of that degree. Many strong engineering programs do not offer Nuclear E.

Btw, Navy ROTC prefers NuclearE majors (along with Nursing) for their 4-year full ride scholarships.

Of course, Nuke Navy love NE majors. But is she willing to spend her career in military? [/quote]

Lots of venture capital investment in smaller nuclear reactors right now.  In one case, the goal is a small portable nuclear power plant.

Separately, many power companies and all of the Dept of Energy National Labs always are looking for NuclearEs.

Military as a Nuclear officer is a good place to start, for sure.  It need not be the whole career though.

Yes, lot's of investment going into nuclear now. Like really a lot. Not a bad choice for an engineering specialty at all. And it's also true Navy ROTC will prioritize the nuclear engineers for four year scholarships. Of course, you'll be dealing with submarines and aircraft carriers. Not for everyone. But nuclear engineering is definitely a solid choice today.

For engineering, MIT and Georgia Tech are generally the it schools. Then you have a whole gaggle of different schools - UIUC, Stanford, Purdue, Rice, CMU, Cornell, Michigan, Princeton, Berkeley. And an even bigger gaggle of schools just below that. But they all produce very solid engineers. [/quote]
