Argonne: Where AI research meets education and training
Last September, in the Chicago suburb of Lemont, Ill., Argonne National Laboratory hosted its first AI STEM Education Summit. More than 180 educators from high schools, community colleges, and universities; STEM administrators; and experts in various disciplines convened at “One Ecosystem, Many Pathways–Building an AI-Ready STEM Workforce” to discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping STEM-related industries, including the implications for the nuclear engineering classroom and workforce.

The University of Wisconsin fusion research program is divided between plasma physics and fusion reactor technology studies. Both research and teaching are the integrated efforts of several departments, with a substantial number of courses available to both graduate and undergraduate students. The program has been successful in producing students for the national controlled thermonuclear research program. It has also produced significant research results, particularly in the toroidal confinement and conceptual reactor design fields.
