The
Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering (MANE) is home to
three highly ranked, integrated programs offering students a world-class
education. Nuclear research at RPI focuses on advancing nuclear technology
across areas such as radiation detection, nuclear materials, power systems, and
radiation applications in medical and industrial fields. Through
interdisciplinary research, MANE faculty contribute to innovations in reactor
design, radiation protection, nuclear non-proliferation, and medical therapies.
Research areas includes Applied Radiation Technologies, Nuclear Materials, Nuclear
Power Systems, Radiation Protection, Medical and Industrial Uses of Radiation.
Boasting unique and state-of-the-art research
facilities, Rensselaer Nuclear Engineering students have access to a large
electron accelerator, radiation detection laboratory, and modern computer
interfacing technology. With today's need for inexpensive sources of energy,
Rensselaer nuclear engineering graduates are in great demand for positions in
industry or graduate study. Rensselaer
launched its plan for NE research in the late 1950s when the Atomic Energy
Commission funded a project to construct a linear electron accelerator in 1958.
