The impact of nuclear science and technology on human life and the world pattern is increasing year by year, and it is widely used in energy, resources, environment, and human health. With the continuous development of my country's nuclear technology and industry and the country's increasing investment in the field of nuclear technology, there is an urgent need for high-quality nuclear science and technology talents to be added to relevant units. This major cultivates advanced composite engineering technical talents with a basic knowledge structure focusing on nuclear engineering technology and engineering thermophysics, supplemented by machinery, electrical engineering, computer technology, etc., and integrating science and engineering.
Through systematic learning, students will have solid basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, engineering mechanics, mechanical principles, electrical and electronics, etc., as well as professional foundations such as heat transfer, fluid mechanics, engineering thermodynamics, automatic control, and computer applications. Knowledge, as well as professional knowledge of nuclear reactor physical analysis, nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics, nuclear power devices and equipment, nuclear reactor safety analysis, nuclear reactor design principles, nuclear power device testing technology, nuclear power device operation and control, etc.
The School of Energy Science and Engineering where this major is located is a national first-level key discipline in power engineering and engineering thermophysics. It has the right to award first-level doctoral degrees, has a postdoctoral work station, and has cooperated with more than a dozen countries. It has close academic exchanges and cooperation with famous universities and research institutions in the region.
In addition to studying for a master's degree, graduates can be engaged in planning, design, operation, etc. in government departments, planning departments, military departments, nuclear power industry and radiation science-related scientific research and design units, nuclear power plants, colleges and universities, etc. Construction, management, education and research and development work.
