nuclearenergy to raise awareness of nuclear power and its related issues in security, safety, and nuclearenvironmental protection.Course modules are developed to supplement a required freshman engineering course GEEN 100Engineering Design and Ethics (Introduction to Engineering). The modules give an overview ofnuclear engineering to students to broaden their career options. Two new elective courses arebeing developed. An engineering elective is for engineering seniors on nuclear energy andnuclear engineering. It is intended to prepare students for the workforce and/or graduate studiesin the nuclear engineering field. The second elective is for all majors, and it will focus on energyfor America's future, covering nuclear energy among other alternatives

information; determine any restrictions, limitations, and/or constraints; develop aresearch topic list and organize the project using project management tools and techniques. Allof these tasks were to be performed with consideration given to the economic, social, political,ethical, technical, health, and safety aspects of the project environment.In the Second IPR students developed a few courses of action (COAs) and used a specificprocedure, modeled after the military decision making process (MDMP), to evaluate the COAsand select the best one. Students performed some preliminary calculations to help determine thefeasibility of their COAs.For the third IPR, students provided their design description and specifications and performed allthe necessary

objectives 1-3 address criterion a): an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics,science, and engineering and criterion e): an ability to identify, formulate, and solveengineering problems. Course objective 4 addresses criterion f): an understanding ofprofessional and ethical responsibility.Throughout the semester, the instructor assessed if students were learning these conceptsfrom the tests that were periodically administered. These assessments were put in a scaleof 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) for each student. At the end of the course, average of studentscores for each objective was determined to assess whether the student body in the classwas able to master that particular objective.At the end of the class, students were also asked to evaluate if

onnuclear engineering applications. The exercises provide cadets an opportunity delve into nuclearengineering applications and the surrounding military, social, political, economic, ethical, andenvironmental considerations.The nuclear engineering (NE) faculty recognized that further application of radiation detectors inan operational environment was needed beyond the normal pristine laboratory experience whereconditions are optimal for radiation detection and technology employment. The nuclearengineering program at West Point is able to take advantage of the training grounds located on Page 26.225.2the military reservation normally used for summer

standards and realistic constraints that include most of the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability; manufacturability; ethical; health and safety; social; and political. The professional component must include (a) one year of a combination of college level mathematics and basic sciences (some with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline (b) one and one-half years of engineering topics, to include engineering sciences and engineering design appropriate to the student’s field of study (c) a general education component that complements the technical content of the curriculum and is consistent with the program and institution objectives
