Problems in nuclear engineering often involve applying knowledge from many disciplines simultaneously in achieving satisfactory solutions.  Each student will be asked to support a team design project that integrates the profession of nuclear engineering. This term's project description is attached. It involves developing an experiment to measure a phenomenon that is import to the future of pebble bed reactors. The challenge is to identify the critical parameters, design the experiment, build the apparatus, and conduct the experiment reporting results to the MIT community.
