In additionto treatment of engineering aspects of fuel cycles, the course utilizes cross-disciplinarytools such as cost-benefit and environmental impact analyses. In addition to fuel cyclescurrently in use, advanced fuel cycle concepts currently being presented in the technicalliterature are studied. The course also includes a group project to research, analyze anddocument the technical, economic and/or environmental ramifications of one of theseadvanced fuel cycles.

Nonetheless, we engineering instructors still rely heavily on the traditionallecture to teach our students. Granted that these lectures are often accompanied by sketches onthe chalkboard or pictures projected onto a screen, but the primary instructional tool is stillverbal in nature. All too often our instructional approach is still “instructor-centered” rather than“student-centered.”Accompanying the dramatic rise in the use of the internet in the past ten years has been thedevelopment and collection of online learning materials.

The teaching loads also varied accordingto these service expectations, with professor educators having the greatest teaching load andprofessional faculty having the smallest teaching load among these professional faculty. Research faculty were not expected to do any teaching, and generally performed limitedservice. Their primary assignment was research and scholarship, so they were expected to workwith a cadre of research assistants, seek funding for research projects, and publish their findings. Adjunct faculty were found in four sub-types, and were also known as contingent faculty.The first type were faculty who worked full-time in nearby industries and who taught no morethan
