The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Material Sciences offers a certificate for students in the Swanson School of Engineering with an interest in nuclear science and technology. Students from the bioengineering, civil, chemical, industrial, mechanical, materials science, and electrical/computer engineering programs may be most interested in obtaining this certificate. Fifteen units are required to complete the certificate. This certificate may be combined with graduate courses in any one of the school's seven Master of Science (MS) degree programs or the certificate may be awarded stand-alone as a post-baccalaureate certificate. This program provides coursework for graduate level nuclear engineering education with a focus on nuclear operations and safety. This focus on nuclear operations and safety not only fulfills a recognized educational need, but is also designed to take advantage of unique industrial resources in the Pittsburgh area which will greatly facilitate student learning. The renaissance of nuclear science and technology in the United States has created a need in the marketplace once again for engineers with nuclear knowledge. The University of Pittsburgh aims to meet these marketplace needs by preparing engineers through the graduate certificate in nuclear engineering. Classes are taught by current and former nuclear engineers, including faculty with experience conducting commercial nuclear operations programs for Westinghouse or the Beaver Valley Nuclear Station and with certifications or operator licenses from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
