Utilization of Nuclear Technologies in Society
This course covers current and new developments in nuclear engineering, and is designed primarily for sophomores and juniors interested in an introductory level course in nuclear science. It will provide an introduction to applications of nuclear science and technology and the radiation principles governing these applications. The course will be taught utilizing a Problem Based Learning environment. Class assignments are web-based and include reference materials and modules to be completed by students.
Instructor
Dr. William Miller (millerw@missouri.edu) has been in the Nuclear Engineering Program at University of Missouri-Columbia for 29 years. He currently has 11 active research grants, largely focused upon innovative uses of radiation including radiation protection, cancer treatment dosimetry, and nuclear power systems. In addition to his teaching duties in the Nuclear Science and Engineering Institute, he has been Director of the Nuclear Science for Secondary High School Teachers Workshop for 22 consecutive years. He has developed a distance education refresher course for industry personnel in preparation for the Certified Health Physics exam. He is currently co-Principal Investigator of a Department of Energy grant Innovations in Nuclear Infrastructure and Education (NIE). This grant is designed, in part, to attract new students into the radiological sciences and expand interdisciplinary approached to nuclear science education.
