Undergraduate Research in Nuclear and Radiological Engineering

Undergraduate research with NRE faculty mentors typically begins in the junior year. NRE suggests that students begin with undergraduate research for course credit by finding a faculty research mentor and signing up for NRE 4901, Special Problems in NRE. The following semester the successful student should apply to the President's Undergraduate Research Awards (www.undergradresearch.gatech.edu) (up to $1500 for student salary, up to $1000 for student travel to professional meeting) or NRE's new Undergraduate Research Scholars program (up to $1000 for student salary). The NRE program requires a GPA of 3.3 or higher to apply. Other opportunities for paid undergraduate research opportunities can be found at http://undergradresearch.gatech.edu/institute-wide.php Successful seniors that plan to continue research can apply to the faculty research mentor for continued salary support.
