Instructional Programs in the Application of Radiation and Radioisotopes at Texas A&M University

The engineer as a professional is sensitive both to the needs and to the opportunities society presents. In this context, the industrial needs and opportunities presented in the nonpower utilization of radiation and radioisotopes in the State of Texas have influenced the design of the educational programs at Texas A&M University in the nonpower applications of nuclear energy. The program, as presently constituted, is a fundamental analysis of radiation detection, nuclear instrumentation, detection systems design, shielding, radiation safety, and dosimetry. This general program has met the needs of industry to date and it is anticipated that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
