COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Applied Science (MASc) program in Nuclear Engineering offers a comprehensive selection of courses designed to equip students with specialized knowledge and skills essential for advanced research and professional practice. Core courses include NUCL 5001G (MASc Thesis), NUCL 5003G (Seminar), and NUCL 5004G (Directed Studies), which provide the foundation for research and scholarly development. Technical courses cover a wide range of topics such as project management for nuclear engineers (NUCL 5010G), Monte Carlo methods (NUCL 5040G), applied risk analysis (NUCL 5050G), and nuclear concepts for engineers and scientists (NUCL 5060G). Specialized courses focus on nuclear plant systems, including operation (NUCL 5100G), design (NUCL 5120G), safety systems (NUCL 5111G), and steam supply systems (NUCL 5140G). Students also study advanced topics such as nuclear fuel engineering (NUCL 5225G), thermalhydraulics (NUCL 5230G), radioactive waste management (NUCL 5300G), and nuclear facility decommissioning (NUCL 5330G). Radiation science and safety are addressed through courses like advanced radiation science (NUCL 5400G), dosimetry (NUCL 5430G), and nuclear forensic analysis (NUCL 5470G). Additional offerings include advanced optimization (ENGR 5010G), computational fluid dynamics (ENGR 5122G), embedded real-time control systems (ENGR 5910G), and mathematical modelling (MCSC 6010G). This diverse curriculum supports students in developing a strong theoretical foundation and practical expertise for careers in nuclear engineering research, industry, and government.
