EGRN 210 is a prerequisite for all of the following EGRN courses; however, EGRN 210 will NOT satisfy a technical elective requirement. EGRN 310 Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering EGRN 320 Reactor Design and Systems EGRN 330 Radiation Safety and Shielding EGRN 331 Nuclear Instrumentation and Measurements EGRN 410 Economics of Nuclear Power Production EGRN 420 Nuclear Power Plants EGRN 430 Processing of Nuclear Fuel EGRN 440 Nuclear Safety and Security EGRN 450 Reactor Control and Dynamics EGRN 530 System Analysis of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Special Topics and Independent Study courses Special topics (ENGR 491/591) and independent study (ENGR 492) courses may be used as technical electives with written approval of the department chair. Electives typically taught by other school of engineering departments Note that some approved technical elective courses outside of mechanical engineering may have prerequisites that are not part of the required curriculum and are not accepted as technical electives.
