Nuclear energy can reduce fossil fuel use & help resolve global warming issues. Read how our new Assistant Professor Yi Xie is testing structural materials to make the next generation of nuclear reactors even safer.

A team composed of undergraduate students from the School of Nuclear Engineering has been announced as a finalist for the 2020 American Nuclear Society (ANS) Student Design Competition and is invited to make a presentation at the ANS 2020 Winter Meeting and Nuclear Technology Expo to be held in November 2020.

The School of Nuclear Engineering at Purdue University is excited to announce the new online Master of Nuclear Engineering degree program, to be launched in Spring 2021. We are happy to provide this continuing education opportunity to those of you who are seeking advanced knowledge in nuclear engineering that can be achieved at your pace. A great opportunity to learn from our world-renowned faculty!

Thanks to the philanthropic gifts made by our alumni, we are grateful for the following named scholarships awarded to our students for the Academic Year of 2020-21!

Obtaining real-world experience outside the classroom is just one factor as to what established a well-rounded education. Seniors in the School of Nuclear Engineering receive exactly that during their industry-sponsored senior design class. Thank you to our sponsors in providing our students with opportunities for culminating design experiences with real-life problems. This year we had seven teams presenting industry sponsored and mentored design projects:

D'Aloia, a native of Centerville, Ohio, who is to receive a Bachelor of Science in nuclear engineering, will be the student responder in the Division VI ceremony. He is one of five graduating seniors to earn the inaugural 2020 Purdue Engineering Fellowship.

Congratulations!
