Nuclear Science and Engineering Education Sourcebook 2016 American Nuclear Society US Department of Energy Nuclear Science & Engineering Education Sourcebook 2016 North American Edition American Nuclear Society Education, Training, and Workforce Division US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy Editor and Founder John Gilligan Professor of Nuclear Engineering North Carolina State University Assistant Editor Sherry Bailey North Carolina State University Version 5.16 *Front Cover Photo – NCSU PULSTAR Reactor* Welcome to the 2016 Edition of the Nuclear Science and Engineering Education (NS&EE) Sourcebook. We have evolved and improved! The core mission of the Sourcebook has not changed, however. Our purpose is to facilitate interaction among faculty, students, industry, and government agencies to accomplish nuclear research, teaching and service activities. Since 1986 we have compiled critical information on nuclear engineering enrollments, degrees, and faculty expertise in printed and electronic formats. There has been much growth and change in the nuclear community in recent years and is evidenced in the 2016 NS & EE Sourcebook. We have gone to a new web based input format that allows quick changes to the Sourcebook and the capability to do ranking and sort manipulations in a spreadsheet environment as the data is displayed. We will publish a PDF version of the Sourcebook. This year we will also include programs that are new and growing, which might include undergraduate curricula with a nuclear energy minor or graduate programs that offer a track or certificate option. We will list only faculty involved in the nuclear options in all of these cases. In general we list faculty that have at least a budgeted 25% appointment in nuclear activities. Other nuclear energy or related programs can be found under the listings for the ANS Student Branches and University Reactors. The Sourcebook data will be placed on the web at the Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP) site and on the DOE-NE website. Copies of the Sourcebook will be distributed to academic Department Heads, and libraries, as well as key industry, society and government officials. A limited number of extra printed copies can be requested in cases where web access is limited or inconvenient. The Sourcebook is a publication by the Education, Training and Workforce Division of the American Nuclear Society with the support of the Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy. Appreciation is expressed to the Executive Committee of the ETWD of the ANS for their encouragement for this project. Special thanks go to the US DOE Office of Nuclear Energy and the NEUP Integration Office at the Idaho National Lab for providing support and a web site home for the NS&EE Sourcebook. We would also like to acknowledge the diligent work of Ms. Sherry Bailey for accumulating the Sourcebook information and for maintenance of the Sourcebook website. We are excited to present the 2016 Edition of the NS&EE Sourcebook (Version 5.16) available in PDF file format and on the web at www.neup.gov .
