Advanced Nuclear Fuel Cladding: Innovative Materials Enhance Fleet Safety and Performance
Lesson plans for middle school and high school students make up only one part of the compelling nuclear science education resources that Navigating Nuclear offers for today’s classrooms. ANS’s K–12 curriculum reaches students with virtual field trips (see article that begins on page 1), career resources, and STEM project starters to get students excited about nuclear science and its applications.
In its ongoing effort to keep its criteria relevant, ABET has revised its student outcome and curriculum requirements.
ABET, originally an acronym for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that accredits college and university programs in the disciplines of applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology. ABET accredits degrees at the associate, bachelor’s, and master’s levels. Over the years, the organization has expanded its domestic and global accreditation presence, and it currently accredits over 4,000 programs in 32 countries.
