Materials and Nuclear Engineering Masters of Science Program
To support graduate research related to nuclear engineering aspects of recycling used nuclear fuel, as well as national security developments, the Nuclear Engineering Group (NEG) was formed within the Nuclear Science and Technology Division (NSTD) in the Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies (HRC). In addition, a new graduate engineering degree program, the UNLV Master of Science in Materials and Nuclear Engineering (MS MNE) degree program was approved in 2004 to recognize the academic and research accomplishments of students who are focused on the nuclear sciences aspects of technologies in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The NSTD/NEG is the focal point of growing nuclear engineering education and research programs at UNLV. We continue to add faculty and facilitate developing collaborations with industry (Varian Medical and Security Technologies and Science Applications International Corporation), national laboratories (LANL, LLNL, INL, ORNL, and others), and Nevada nuclear institutes (Nevada Test Site/NSTec, Yucca Mountain/BSC).
