the present paper.Step 1: Elimination of CoursesSix courses were eliminated. • ENU 4934 Fundamentals of Nuclear and Radiological Engineering – this one-credit course does not permit sufficient time to cover an adequate introduction to nuclear physics, reactors, and careers. In a one-credit class, assignments can adversely affect retention, as one skipped or bad homework can change a grade. The lead author has observed students who earned a B or worse often left the program prior to the junior year. This course will be replaced by a two-credit course in Step 3. • STA 3032 Engineering Statistics – the statistical topics in this course are a poor match for those needed by nuclear engineering students
