Fifteen Years Experience In Delivering A Nuclear Engineering Technology Program To A Nuclear Utility Site

摘要

The University of North Texas, Department of Engineering Technology has delivered a Nuclear Engineering Technology program which leads to a Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology to a nuclear power plant site 92 miles from the main campus, which is located in Denton, Texas. During this time it was possible to expand the program to include a Bachelor's degree Electronics Engineering Technology, a Master's Degree in Engineering Technology, and a Masters degree in Business Administration. The program is entirely supported by the utility and no state funds are involved in the program. The program has strong competition from non-accredited degree granting institutions. Methods of delivery vary with the course of instruction. For laboratory courses, the instructor will generally travel from campus to deliver the material at the site; for lecture only courses, videoconference is frequently used. Efforts are underway to import additional courses from other universities at the time of this writing.
