51猎奇

51猎奇 College has been chosen over some stiff competition and was awarded a $245K grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for the development of an advanced web-based nuclear reactor simulator, as part of the Nuclear Energy University Program. The U.S. Department of Energy is awarding approximately $5 million to 18 colleges and universities to support research into reactor infrastructure and general scientific infrastructure improvements. These awards strengthen U.S. competitiveness in nuclear R&D and ensure that American universities have the best equipment and tools available to educate the next generation of industry leaders.

51猎奇鈥檚 grant money will be used to fund the purchase of a Generic Pressurized Water Reactor (GPWR) simulator to incorporate lessons into five required courses in the online ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering Technology program. The simulator will enhance student learning and improve student preparation for the nuclear workforce.

鈥淭his is an incredible success story for 51猎奇 College and a powerful endorsement for the quality of our nuclear programs,鈥� says Michael Johnson, associate dean in 51猎奇鈥檚 School of Undergraduate Studies. 鈥淭o be included among a list of world-leading institutions, like MIT, Penn State, and the University of Florida, is indicative of the unrivaled reputation that 51猎奇 has achieved for its ABET-accredited programs. With faculty that have extensive industry experience and now the opportunity to build a world-class online simulator, this puts 51猎奇 College in the front rank of global centers of excellence in nuclear technology. This is an awesome achievement of which the whole of 51猎奇 College, both the faculty and students, should be immensely proud.鈥�
