Studying Nuclear Engineering in Canada

After 2 years of general engineering, physics, and chemistry courses, students begin to take nuclear engineering courses. This includes steam supply systems, steam and gas turbines, nuclear reactor engineering, nuclear heat removal, energy management, and corrosion processes. These are designed to teach the student about how nuclear reactors work, how to maintain them, and how to safely operate them. Learning takes place in a variety of settings including lectures, tutorials, field visits, laboratories, and via computer simulations.

Advanced courses in solid-state devices (light emitting diodes, semiconductor lasers, photovoltaic cells), optical communications (propagation of light in an optical fibre, semiconductor lasers and detectors for optical communications, signal to noise considerations, system design.), industrial monitoring and detection techniques (diagnostics and monitoring techniques for industrial and power plant operations, radiation monitoring), and lasers (laser gain media, laser systems) are offered.

Complementary studies include collaborative leadership, economics, ethics, law, and strategic management. These are designed to give the student a more-rounded education concerning the entire nuclear industry.
