Nuclear Engineers

There are several engineering groups a co-op can work in. I worked in BOP (a systems group), EFIN (troubleshooting), and CMO (Component Maintenance Optimization). In a systems role, you have two or three systems you focus on. You perform walkdowns each week on those systems and perform trending. ...

Typically there will be one to two meetings per day. These could be with on-site management, co-workers, vendors, etc. One you complete the nuclear worker training, part of the day will be spent working on your individual intern project and part will be spent assisting coworkers and tagging along...

Mechanical engineering prepared me very well for my co-op position. The nuclear steam supply system is largely based upon the principles of thermodynamics, heat exchange, and fluid flow, so those classes gave me a great background for working in this engineering unit. One training class I took wa...
