Need study advice before starting a Masters program in Nuclear Engineering

Click For Summary
Starting a master's in nuclear engineering after a six-year gap requires a solid review of relevant math and physics topics. Key areas to focus on include advanced calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra, as well as classical mechanics and thermodynamics. Understanding the specific syllabus of the nuclear engineering program can help identify additional subjects that may need review. Engaging with current students or faculty can provide insights into essential topics and resources. Preparing adequately will enhance readiness for the upcoming program.

Hey everyone,

I’m starting my masters in nuclear engineering in about 6 months. The thing is I graduated six years ago, so I’m a bit rusty(more than a bit actually), so I’d appreciate any advice on which math and physics topics I should review to be ready for the program.

What is the syllabus for your NE program classes? That's the starting point for figuring out what you need to review...
 

Thread 'PSA -- Contact PI's before applying to graduate school in the US'

Given the current funding situation, you should contact potential departments or research groups before you apply and pay any application fees. Many programs are not taking new graduate students at all this cycle because of funding uncertainty, unless a specific advisor can show they already have money to support you for five years. This is what I’ve heard directly from 20–30 programs. Do not waste money applying blindly.
