Beyond the classroom: How a corporate-university partnership benefits the community
For the past several years, the University of North Carolina–Wilmington has hosted volunteer instructors from Wilmington-based GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy who teach engineering courses and engage with students. This guest instructor program has grown under the guidance of Amy Craig Reamer, associate professor of practice and director of engineering in the UNCW College of Science and Engineering’s Department of Computer Science. Under her oversight, an informal but strong public-private partnership has been established to the benefit of UNCW students and the wider Wilmington community.

Established in 1957, University of Tennessee’s Department of Nuclear Engineering (UTNE) was the first NE department in the country and continues to be one of the most prestigious in the United States. With a brand-new building hosting faculty staff and students, along with a myriad of collaboration areas and 26 new nuclear engineering laboratories, UTNE provides a welcoming and supportive environment for all.
Our faculty is internationally recognized for excellence in research and teaching, and our advanced research programs are enhanced by close ties with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Y-12 Nuclear Security Complex, UCOR, at the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP), and more than one hundred nuclear related companies located within fifty miles of Knoxville.
East Tennessee may have the largest concentration of nuclear industry anywhere in the world and is therefore an ideal place to come for nuclear education.
Our PhD program is the largest in the country and our graduate program consistently ranked as one of the top in the nation by U.S. News and World Report.
