Nuclear Engineering

There is a lot more to the nuclear industry than just nuclear physics (I think some people fail to realize this) but to be a mechanical, or any type of engineer for that matter, you are going to need to have a solid understanding of physics.

<p>That’s what I’m trying to get at. I want a job where I can apply quantum physics and more advanced topics. I do not want to be stuck on newtonian physics for the rest of my life, and I thought maybe Nuclear Engineering would keep me interested for 50 years while putting good food on the table. Is there any engineering major which fills these requirements? (As the username suggests, I want to major in physics, but I’m still looking around to make sure I haven’t missed something)</p>

<p>Thanks for your replies Wiemer.</p>
