Nuclear Engineering
First off, the tasks that need to be completed before even becoming a nuclear engineer start with graduate education; a master’s degree, which involves substantial work in math, physics, and engineering design is a necessity (Shiori, “Nuclear Engineering Education”). Both private and government jobs frequently require a doctorate in nuclear engineering. However, the typical educational requirements for an operating engineer are less severe, as one qualification is a bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering, while others with only high school diplomas train in the U.S. Navy Nuclear Power Plant Program (""Nuclear Engineer" Job Description - Part 1."). The tasks of a nuclear engineer vary significantly, depending on the field of study one decides to focus on. However, similar to most engineers, nuclear engineers are usually immersed in highly technical environments for work (""Nuclear Engineer" Job Description - Part 1."). Additionally, outside of the lab, the engineers often work in cautious, extended teams; safety from the dangers of nuclear radiation is a top priority for anyone overseeing work while exposed to radiation, and a nuclear engineering working on the field should be able to...
