paper reviews interdisciplinary nuclear and automation program implemented as shown inFigure 1. One pilot student has completed the workforce development program as a Mastersstudent with two working semesters at LANL. Three PhD students are currently completing theirsecond semester of course work. Both lab and research projects have been organized for eachstudent and the feedback from the National Labs is preliminary but very positive, includingdemand for additional students.Most importantly, this program fulfills the higher level objectives of each participant. • Student Researcher – It provides year-round funding to perform relevant research while exploring the opportunities in both academia and the research laboratories. • National

is a multifaceted research facility specializing in research related to the nuclear sciences. The facility houses unique ca- pabilities including the 1.1 MW Oregon State TRIGA Reactor (OSTR), gamma irradiator, thermal hy- draulics testing laboratories, radiochemistry laboratories, and extensive radiological spectral and counting equipment. His research focus includes neutron radiography, MCNP, and reactor dosimetry. He obtained a PhD from Colorado State University (1997) in Radiological Health Sciences and a BS from Oregon State University (1991) in General Science. He also holds a Senior Reactor Operating license for the OSTR. He is certified by the American Board of Health Physics and is a member of the

understood. Chiefamong these technological hurdles is the use of continuous processing of spent fuel to removefission products while the reactor is online [1]. The voluminous literature on molten salt reactors mostly dates to the 1960s era. Notably,in the U.S. the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory was an 8MW(th) reactor that was designed primarily to study the technical feasibility and safety of usinga molten salt based fuel and coolant. In addition to demonstrating the practicality of a moltensalt reactor, the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment also addressed issues of on-line refueling, fuelmakeup, and salt chemistry. Towards the end of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment, andcontinuing after its shutdown, research

Laboratory • Plant Systems OverviewIn addition to the Nuclear Engineering Technology core requirements, students must complete a3-credit Integrated Technology Assessment (ITA) requirement.The 3-credit ITA requirement consists of the submission of a comprehensive portfolio by the BS-Nuclear Engineering Technology students at Excelsior College. This portfolio consists ofinformation regarding students’ achievement of the learning outcomes of the given program ofstudy. The academic and professional portfolios are effective tools for academic programs to usein assessing program outcomes. All the desired outcomes for engineering education identified byABET Criteria are addressed by these portfolios.Integrated Technology AssessmentAll BS candidates in

Opportunities tointeract with industry representatives at career sessions occur in conjunction with the MinorityCareer Fair and the College of Engineering Career Fair. Due to our location and relationship withutilities, major vendors and national laboratories, representatives also visit the departmentdirectly to recruit for summer internships and full-time positions. Service activities assist with retention as well. For example, student ambassadors assistthe Director of Outreach Programs with school visits, departmental tours, science fairs,Engineers’ Week programming and university/engineering open houses.

Apedagogical model referred as U-POSE methodically sequences students through the five stepsof these proposed MCNP6 demonstrations: Understand, Predict, Observe, Synthesize, andExplain. The final step culminates with students explaining the concept by authoring arepresentative concept question with a solution for a peer. This paper provides a model fornuclear engineering demonstration and proposes means for sharing demonstrations created usingthis model.The Problem In nuclear engineering studies at the U.S. Military Academy, the NaI (th) scintillatorradiation detector is a workhorse in our laboratory courses, and it is analyzed in depth in

Students are required to demonstrate their accomplishment of eachobjective with individualized learning statements drawn from their own academic,professional, or life experiences. The resulting portfolios must also contain evidencesupporting these statements; examples of such evidence may include copies ofexaminations or laboratory reports, design drawings, citations from supervisors or peers,honors or awards, or similar documentation. It may also include videos of presentationgiven in class or on the job, and letters from professors or employers attesting to skills inthe particular areas of
