The new Bionuclear Engineering Program within
the Nuclear Engineering Department is designed to provide
a solid foundation in aspects of nuclear physics and interaction
of radiation with matter that are required for advanced study
and applications in the general areas of radiology, nuclear
medicine technology, and bionuclear engineering. Advanced
courses taken during the junior and senior year provide in-depth
study of radiation detection, measurements, and instrumentation,
as well as biological effects of radiation and dosimetry.
The student will be introduced to basic numerical simulation
methods in radiation transport.The student is also introduced
to biodistribution of radiopharmaceuticals in the human body,
as well as medical imaging physics and systems, including
X-ray computed tomography, NMR, PET, and SPECT.

| 1Pre-med
students ordinarily take Chem 1A, 3A/3AL, and 3B/3BL. However,
with prior faculty adviser approval, students may take Chem
1A, 1B, and 112A, or Chem 4A, 4B, and 112A. Please note: The
alternative sequences do not cover material included in Chem
3B/3BL, which is a prerequisite to MCB 102.
2Computational course
should be selected with the help of a faculty adviser. Engin
77 or CS 61A is recommended.
3Humanities/Social Studies
Electives include six courses of at least 3 units each in
humanities and social studies selected from an approved list
of courses. Two of these courses must fulfill the College
of Engineering Reading and Composition requirement. Click
for details or go to 308 McLaughlin Hall for a handout.
4Students intending advanced
study in nuclear and atomic physics or materials should also
take Physics 137B as a technical elective.
5Recommended sequence:
MCB 102, Survey of the Principles of Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology; MCB 130, Cell Biology.
6Students must take one
course with ethics content. This may be fulfilled with BioE
100 or Engin 191, or within the Humanities and Social Studies
requirement by taking one of the following courses: Engin
124 or Engin 195; Anthro 156B, 156C; ESPM 161, 162; Philosophy
2, 10, 104, 105, 107; Political Science 108A; Public Policy
170; PACS 155.
7Technical electives must
include at least 9 units of upper division Nuc. Eng. courses.
