It is strongly recommended that you do not take any of the nuclear engineering or electronics systems engineering area of study courses unless your math skills (calculus 1 or higher) are reasonably current.
The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree with an area of study in Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology emphasizes the practical application of engineering principles as they impact nuclear power generation. The 126-credit program is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to perform competently in reactor operations, quality assurance, instrumentation and control technology and other related areas. Additionally, the BS degree with an area of study in Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology addresses career pathways in the engineering function and thus supports the ability to obtain a professional engineering license. A total of 18 Area of Study credits must be from 300/400 level courses.
The Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology Program’s goal is to educate engineering technology practitioners who are immediately relevant to or practicing in industry by frequently evaluating and improving our educational programs, engaging in scholarly and industrially based activities, and working within the broader community to be relevant to the professional and global community.
The AST vision and mission statements are reviewed and updated periodically, most recently in 2018. These reviews are performed by the mentors as well as the Industrial Advisory Council (IAC). Details are published in the School and IAC meeting minutes. The current vision and mission statements are published on Thomas Edison State University’s web site.
The BS degree with an area of study in Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Dr. Richard Coe, assistant dean of the School of Applied Science and Technology, oversees our Nuclear programs. Dr. Coe worked in the nuclear energy industry for 20 years and is the recipient of the Robert L. Long Nuclear Training and Education Excellence Award in recognition of his professional contribution to training and education in the nuclear energy field. He has also been recognized by the American Nuclear Society with the Nuclear Training and Education Pioneer Award.
Have you earned acquired college-level technical expertise on the job? If so, it may be worth college credit. The University also offers a variety of other ways to earn credit, including transferring previous college credits, all designed around the needs of adult learners, like you.
Note: Laboratories are considered to be part of the course work and/or prior experiential learning. Laboratory requirements of the degree are assigned zero credits.
Policy for Required Advisement for the BS Degree with an Area of Study in Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology:
BS degree with an area of study in Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology program students are required to schedule and complete a minimum of two program planning sessions with a School of Applied Science and Technology Academic Advisor. The first scheduled program planning sessions should be after the student receives formal evaluation of transferred credits and prior to starting courses. A second scheduled program planning session should be prior to registration for Nuclear Assessment/Career Planning (NUC-490)
The session shall encompass the following:
Note: Other General Education, Free Electives and Nuclear Elective courses can be taken as determined by student and approved by advisement.
The program educational objectives (PEOs) are broad statements describing the career and professional accomplishments that the Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology program is preparing graduates to achieve. The BS degree with an area of study in Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology strives to produce qualified and competent applied technology engineering professionals who can immediately make substantial contributions to their employers.
The PEOs are to:
