Nuclear and other radioactive materials are used for large-scale production of electricity without producing greenhouse gases, advanced medical diagnostics and treatments, food sterilization, sophisticated measurement technologies, and military purposes. In order to benefit from these uses, packaging that protects the public and the environment during the storage, transfer, transport and disposal of these materials must be developed, inspected, maintained and safely used.   

The purpose of the graduate certificate is to provide a curriculum in packaging for nuclear and other radioactive materials that complements graduate programs in Mechanical, Nuclear, Materials and other related engineering fields, and is more applied-knowledge-based than research-based.

Sustainability plays a central role in the future of humanity. Professionals in all disciplines not only need to work together finding solutions to important societal problems, but they also need a broader education and set of tools to devise and design solutions that encompass equity, social, and environmental sustainability.

Nuclear and other radioactive materials are used for large-scale production of electricity without greenhouse gas generation, defense, advanced medical diagnostics and treatments, food sterilization, and sophisticated measurement technologies. In order to benefit from these uses, packaging that protects the public and the environment during the storage, transfer, transport and disposal of these materials must be developed, inspected and maintained.  Transport of these materials must also be secure and safe.    

The purpose of the graduate certificate is to provide a curriculum in transportation security and safeguards that complements graduate programs in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Engineering, and is more applied-knowledge-based than research-based.
