Nuclear
Engineering Dr. H. Lee Dodds NE Department Head 
The NE Department has obtained approval from the UT Graduate School
to offer two new graduate certification programs, one in maintenance
and reliability engineering (MRE) and another in nuclear criticality
safety (NCS). These new programs are available to both local and distance
students, but are intended primarily for distance students via interactive
online graduate courses. Dr. Wes Hines has been selected to
serve as the first director of Extended Education for the College
of Engineering. More detailed information on these programs is posted
on the web at http://www.anywhere.tennessee.edu.
The NE department recently completed the 2001 update of its strategic
plan. First published in 1993, the strategic plan has been updated
every two years. The effort for the 2001 update, which included the
entire NE faculty, was led by Dr. Art Ruggles. A copy of the 2001
update is posted on the web at http://www.engr.utk.edu/nuclear.
Several NE faculty and students
Doctoral student Jennifer Parsons-Hoff presented a paper in Italy, and with several other graduate students selected from across the U.S., attended the 51st Meeting of the Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany.
The NE department recently made several improvements to the infrastructure
in the Pasqua Engineering Building. Several new state-of-the-art computers
were purchased for our main student computer laboratory and for several
faculty members. New study carrels for NE graduate students were also
purchased. Visit us online: engr.utk.edu/nuclear/
