Are Additional Courses Needed for a Career in Nuclear Engineering?

Fusiontron · Nov 22, 2011

I am at the University of Maryland and just successfully enrolled in the double degree program with physics as my second degree to mechanical engineering. Here are the requirements for physics: http://umdphysics.umd.edu/images/pdfs/ugrad/physprofreqs.pdf. I am wondering what further classes I should take if I plan to go into nuclear (either fission or fusion) engineering.

I would recommend a class regarding concepts of Radiation Physics, and perhaps Subatomic Physics.
