Nuclear non-proliferation and international safeguards are important national security topics that require significant nuclear engineering expertise. Yet, most nuclear engineering programs do not require students to take a non-proliferation course, and some nuclear degree-granting universities don't even offer such a course. Luckily, there are a variety of opportunities for students to develop their expertise in non-proliferation, from internships and short courses, to graduate fellowships and post-degree programs. Students and recent graduates who have participated in these extra-curricular programs will share their experience and recommend ways for students to develop their expertise and prepare for a career in nuclear non-proliferation and international safeguards.
