Nuclear engineering @GTech

<p>What's it like?</p>

<p>I actually would like to know as well. I’ve been to the campus and seen the building, but it seems like a very small program.</p>

<p>Yeah, NucE usually is small, and it looks like there is only about 10 faculty.
Still, its suppossed to be a top 15 undergraduate program, but there isn’t much info on it.</p>

<p>A really good place to get an unbiased opinion is here: [Office</a> of Assessment Documents](<a href=“http://www.assessment.gatech.edu/documents/]Office”>http://www.assessment.gatech.edu/documents/) </p>

<p>That site has the 1997 ABET accreditation review which has a considerable amount of information a website like this won’t provide. You have to keep in mind that the report is 12 years old, and every program at Tech (that I can think of) has improved over that time period, but it’s a good starting point: if something is identified as an issue, you can ask the school what has been done to address the issue, etc.</p>

<p>Also, even though there are “only” 10 faculty members (that’s a lot for a sub-field), keep in mind that there are a number of academic professionals (non tenure-track professors), adjunct professors, and part-time professors (split time between departments). Combining those groups, the student to faculty ratio is probably less than 1.</p>

<p>One last question,</p>

<p>Is it possible for a undergrad to gain work as a reactor operator?</p>
