It is natural for all universities to teach the major of nuclear engineering in the College of Engineering, and among the most important engineering disciplines similar to the nuclear engineering major are the following:

Civil Engineering.
Industrial Engineering.
Electrical Engineering.
Alternative and Renewable Energy Engineering.
Mechanical Engineering.

Among the most famous programs and departments of nuclear engineering are the following:

Radiological Health.
Nuclear Sciences and Materials.

Compulsory subjects that students of the major should study. The study plans for all majors are designed in different departments that contain several requirements, which are the university’s compulsory and optional requirements, the college’s compulsory and optional requirements, the requirements for specialization as well, in addition to free and support courses.

It is important for you to know, dear reader, that these courses, materials, and courses included in the study plan for the major in nuclear engineering differ from one university to another. The names of these materials may differ from one country to another. Hence, from one university to another.

And now, you can get acquainted with the detailed study plan for studying a major in nuclear engineering, according to one of the leading universities in teaching the specialization in the Arab world:

The first academic year (Preparatory Year for the College of Engineering):

The curriculum for the first year of the College of Engineering includes courses that combine all engineering disciplines, such as basic engineering, principles of mechanics, engineering mathematics, general scientific subjects such as physics and chemistry, calculus, and other basic subjects in engineering disciplines.

While students in the following years begin to study the subjects of the specialization, and they are divided as follows:

The second academic year:

Electric Circuit Analysis.
Electric Circuits Lab.
Mechanics of Materials.
Intermediate Analysis.
Ordinary Differential Equations.
Fundamentals of Nuclear Science.
Ethics & Development of Nuclear Technology.
Engineering Thermodynamics.
Introduction to Linear Systems.
Applied Engineering Statistics.
Introduction to Nuclear Engineering.

The third academic year:

Numerical Methods for Engineers.
Fluid Mechanics.
Economics and Engineering Management.
Engineering Materials.
Engineering Materials Lab.
Ionizing Radiation Detection and Measurement.
Radiation Detection and Measurement Lab.
Signals and Control Systems.
Heat Transfer.
Radiation Protection and Dosimetry.
Nuclear Reactors Theory.
Computational Techniques in Nuclear Engineering.

Fourth academic year:

Thermo Fluid Lab.
Nuclear Reactors Thermal Hydraulics.
Nuclear Reactors Analysis.
Nuclear Power Plant Systems and Operations.
Nuclear Reactor Materials.
Radiation Interactions and Shielding Design.
Nuclear Reactor Lab.
Nuclear Instrumentation & Control.
Fuel Cycle and Waste Management.
Modeling and Simulation of Nuclear Reactors.
Nuclear Engineering Seminar.
Engineering Training.
Nuclear Reactor Safety.
Graduation Project.

Some of the aforementioned materials are distributed over more than one academic course, such as the mechanics of materials, radiation detection and measurement, and more materials.

Some materials are also taught either in lecture halls, laboratories, or even field sites.

Knowing that these subjects are only compulsory specialization requirements in addition to the humanities and social sciences subjects that students must study.

1- Increasing energy alternatives, and this is considered one of the most important positive aspects because the rise in energy alternatives leads in turn to increased productivity, and increased productivity leads to an increase in national income.
2- Specialization aims to reduce the amount of waste.
3- The presence of the Engineers Syndicate.
4- Providing the opportunity for civil engineering graduates to work in various other engineering fields.
5- Get high salaries.
