BSc in Nuclear Engineering in Knoxville United States | University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Nuclear engineering applies atomic and nuclear processes to benefit humanity and the environment. Its specialization, radiological engineering, focuses on biological uses including radiation protection (health physics). Key applications include generating electricity with minimal air pollution, creating medical and industrial radioisotopes, and developing radiation-based cancer diagnostics and treatments. The Nuclear Engineering Department aims to: - Educate exceptional nuclear and radiological engineers from undergraduate to doctoral levels to address workforce demands locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. Conduct research in nuclear and radiological engineering to address societal requirements. Provide assistance to industry, government, professional groups, and the public in nuclear and radiological engineering areas.
