Outcomes Based Nuclear Engineering Curriculum Development and Enhancement with Nuclear Security Related Subjects

Traditionally a nuclear engineering curriculum has a strong content with safety and safeguard subjects, but not with security related aspects yet. Outcomes based curriculum specifies the abilities of graduates which are defined in the form of program outcomes and course learning outcomes. The structure of nuclear engineering curriculum consist of 4 group of courses, fundamental science courses, fundamental engineering courses, fundamental nuclear engineering courses and specialization courses. Enhancement of courses with security subjects could be implemented in the several courses in the group of fundamental nuclear engineering and specialization. Several model of course content enhancement can be implemented based on additional course material and case studies with nuclear security related subjects.
