Facilitates presentations on research topics in nuclear and radiation engineering outside any research with techniques in proposal writing; or specialized laboratory courses. Three lecture hours a week for one semester. Mechanical Engineering 388S and 397 (Topic: Modern Trends in Nuclear and Radiation Engineering) may not both be counted. Prerequisite: Graduate standing.
