responsibility forassessment of certain Student Outcomes each time that the course is taught andthis data is integrated into a program level evaluation of the curriculum. Likeother programs, embedded indictors include tests, laboratories, papers,presentations, and projects. What follows are some unique ideas for assessing thestudent outcomes. Each of these is a graded event in the NE Capstone Course,NE495/496. They include (1) Student Outcome Essays to assess studentperspectives on their attainment of ABET Student Outcomes a-k, (2) CapstoneProject Elevator Pitch to convey a broad perspective of the engineeringenvironment ABET Student Outcomes h, (3) an Oral Examination to assessstudent dedication to continued learning Student Outcomes i, and (4) a

ResourcesIn fall 2014, the authors launched a project to develop a website as a center to access web-basedteaching and learning resources in nuclear engineering and health physics. The main motivationwas to provide students with an easy access to learning resources that are high quality and relatedto the curriculum of our minor program in nuclear science and engineering. These resourceswould be organized topically in a fashion similar to the topics organized in the textbooks usedfor the minor program courses. The resources considered for each topic could include tutorials,PowerPoint presentations, video clips, images, demos, and/or simulations. A maximum limit offive resources per category (e.g.; images) for each topic was considered as a reasonable

funding is available, provides best chance of success.  Students learn many skills not available in curriculum such as programmatic in writing proposals, cost estimates, planning and scheduling.  Often much time in graduate school is wasted trying to figure out a project and executing setup of an experiment. Number one problem leading to delays in graduation.US Government agencies have identified betavoltaics as a disruptive technology that is neededand should be pursued, as evident in reports and solicitations. In October 2013, the DefenseScience Board (DSB) issued its report on Technology and Innovation Enablers in 2030. TheDSB technology report specifically addresses the use of radionuclide power to lighten thesoldiers
