According to USG policies, a minor program must contain 15-18 credit hours ofcoursework of which at least nine (9) hours must be upper level course work4 (junior or seniorlevel).The minor program is primarily designed for STEM students to learn about nuclear science andtechnology and thus increase their career opportunities in nuclear industries. The STEM majorsat FVSU include biology, chemistry, computer science, computer information systems,mathematics, and electronic engineering technology. The biology major has the highest studentenrollment and comprises approximately 50% of all STEM students

Design in this challenging domain requires an interdisciplinaryexpertise in nuclear engineering and flexible automation (robotics). Our experiences have shownthat there is a shortage of interdisciplinary trained engineers in this area which has led to either1) an inherent lack of cutting edge automation technologies in the nuclear domain or 2) aninability to precisely define the operational and environmental requirements for proposedautomation systems. This paper outlines the generalized material and course requirements for aninterdisciplinary graduate program from domain relevant application requirements as well asinteractions with the DOE complex

The undergraduate research has often been usedas a recruitment tool for graduate schools. The undergraduate research participation in generalhas benefitted both students and the faculty and has given rich experience to the graduatestudents and researchers who otherwise would not interact with undergraduate students. TheNuclear Engineering student groups are generally small and this interaction has more impact onstudent learning.
