Engineering Science in 1960 and in Mechanical Engineering in1970, where it is currently administered. In August 1963, the TRIGA nuclear reactor wentcritical at 10kW using fuel loaned from the U.S. Government. In 1968, the power was upgradedto 250 kW and then upgraded again in 1992 to 1,100 kW at a different site; the NuclearEngineering Teaching Laboratory (NETL). Throughout its long history, the nuclear program hashad a commitment to educating the brightest students in the United States and abroad. Thisdedication which continually grows stronger now as the program has expanded to encompasshealth physics, radiation engineering, research reactor beam port experiments, radioactive wastemanagement and reactor and computational nuclear engineering

become connected early on with departmentalresearch, and the student chapter of the American Nuclear Society (ANS). A careerdevelopment series is provided in-house and through the University Career Services. Thissmaller session allows students follow-up time in a smaller setting (college-levelorientation serves 1400 students whereas department orientation serves 52). A facilitytour that connects future course work and technological application is provided – visits toresearch reactor, neutron activation analysis, radiation teaching laboratory, and plasmalaboratory. They also hear from current students about their experiences and suggestionsfor a “smoother” transition to university
