22.913 Professional Perspective in Nuclear Science and Engineering
(22.95)

Required for Course 22 doctoral students to gain professional perspective in research experiences, academic experiences, teaching experiences, and industry experiences in nuclear science and engineering. Professional perspective options include: internships (in industry, government or academia), academic paper publications resulting from research, formal presentation of research at a conference or other professional venue, training for a career in academia, or entrepreneurial engagement. For an internship experience, an offer of employment from a company or organization is required prior to enrollment; employers must document work accomplished. A written report is required upon completion. Proposals are subject to departmental approval. Consult the NSE Academic Office for details on procedures and restrictions. Limited to NSE students completing their professional perspective requirement.
