Employment Resources and Professions Available to Nuclear Engineering Graduates | |
People with a degree in nuclear engineering can perform research in an academic environment while at the same time teaching physics, engineering, and nuclear physics to students.
Nuclear engineers are also in demand in the medical industry, where they are involved in the research and development of new diagnostic imaging devices and techniques. This often takes place in collaboration with nuclear medicine technologists, radiologists, and physicists.
They can also work for various government agencies in a variety of positions (eg. Atomic Energy of Canada, Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission). Some can work in border security along with law enforcement officials, while others can work in public policy.
Nuclear engineers also find work in private industry (hydro companies, nuclear industry) where their expertise in physics and engineering are an asset, even in non-nuclear applications.
Graduates with a nuclear engineering degree can go on to acquire their Professional Engineering (P.Eng) designation, which allows them to be legally responsible for nuclear engineering documents, and allows them access to a greater number of employment opportunities.
