electronic learning (e-learning) is not only limited to streaminga lecture over the internet for students. Through simulation a risk management plan goes frombeing hypothetical to being realistic without including the element of actual harm or hazardoussituations. A Level 1 PRA models the various plant responses to an event that challenges plantoperation. The plant response paths are called accident sequences [2]. If there was a way tointroduce a learner to the accident sequences through an immersion teaching method, theimportance is impressed upon all those involved and presents itself in a more favorable outcome.

students demonstrated professionalismand mature learning through a “reflective, self-critical, and thoughtful plan toimprove.” We believe that this was a result of the unique learning environmentpresenting the student with the recorded performance of their pitch and with thepersonal engagement with the mentor who inspired development and growth.Oral Examinations The Oral Exams were focused on what we call Fundamental NuclearEngineering Knowledge which is a cumulating body of knowledge gained fromeach of the nuclear engineering courses in the curriculum. Through each course,there are facts and concepts learned that we expect students to be able to recall forthe remainder of their time in our curriculum and for that matter for the rest

asked toreceive the out-briefs. Out-briefs are a very important part of Army operations and offer thecadets and senior officer the opportunity to determine the aspects of the laboratory that wentcorrectly and those aspects of the laboratory that did not go as planned. Cadets can then buildupon this knowledge and experience for similar missions at future times. Senior officers are alsoincredibly important in this process as they can ask the difficult questions and help cadets totranslate what they learned in the laboratory to more real-life situations.The objectives of the laboratory were fully met. Not only did the cadets get an opportunity touse a myriad of equipment in a field-type environment but they were also able to blend the Armytraining

videoclips, simulations, and PowerPoint presentations.Future Work and Concluding RemarksWe plan to fully complete this project including the identification of resources andimplementation of the website by fall 2015. We not only would like our own students to use thewebsite extensively, but also sincerely hope that other interested students from all over the worldwould do the same. To this end, invitation letters and emails will be sent to as many nuclearengineering programs as possible to introduce our website to a wider audience after thecompletion of the project. In addition, the letters would invite members of the American NuclearSociety (ANS) student chapter to participate in the website review and provide feedback aboutselected resources. This

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
