Department of Energy and Nuclear Engineering
The Department of Energy and Nuclear Engineering offers Canada's only undergraduate Nuclear Engineering program and rates third in North America for Nuclear Engineering graduates at the Bachelor's level.
Energy systems and nuclear science are interesting, challenging and important areas of study, presenting significant employment opportunities in various technical areas for engineers and scientists. In brief, we strive to continuously learn and understand the safe, reliable and efficient generation of environmentally-conscious energy. Different forms of energy include fossil fuels, hydro, geothermal, nuclear, solar and wind, as well as emerging technologies such as energy storage. Electricity is perhaps the main “product” of energy. However, there are many applications of nuclear technology and radiation, encompassing the environment, industries (manufacturing), radiation protection, regulation and public health. Energy is a large-scale challenge for humankind as it is often linked to climate change.
