Holtec International is a diversified energy technology company with its headquarters located in Jupiter on Florida’s “Treasure Coast.” The company is widely recognized as the foremost technology innovator in the field of carbon-free power generation, specifically commercial nuclear and solar energy. o meet its expanding business needs, Holtec International built the 50 acre state-of-the art $260 million Krishna P. Singh Technology Campus on the Delaware River in the economically depressed city of Camden, NJ. This project has helped revitalize Camden, a former bastion of technology and manufacturing excellence, after five decades of decline. The Camden Campus houses a technology center, a large manufacturing facility and a reactor test loop and several auxiliary buildings to support the ongoing development of Holtec’s small modular reactor, SMR-160. The company expects to train and employ over a thousand workers from Camden and vicinity, including war veterans, in the first two years of operation to rejuvenate the manufacturing base in the South Jersey region.

The University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science got its start as the School of Civil Engineering in 1836. It was the first engineering school in the south and the fourth university-level engineering school in the nation after West Point (founded in 1803 and developed into a school in 1817); the American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy (founded in 1821 and renamed Lewis College and then Norwich University); and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (opened in 1824 and reorganized as a recognizable school of engineering in 1929).
UVA Engineering is among the top-ranked engineering schools in the country – one of U.S. News & World Report’s top-25 public engineering schools that offer both undergraduate and graduate programs – and all of our departments are also among the top-ranked in their disciplines.

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) is Virginia’s premier public, urban research university. Located in downtown Richmond, VCU enrolls more than 32,000 students in 13 Schools and One college. The VCU Medical Center is one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers. VCU is proud to have a diverse student population that includes traditionally underrepresented minorities and a higher than average female student population. VCU also has a higher than average percentage of non-traditional students, and a high number of transfer students from area community colleges seeking to expand associate degrees into bachelors and even master and PhD degrees.
VCU initiated new graduate and undergraduate programs in nuclear engineering in 2007 in direct response to the growing demand for nuclear engineers in the nuclear power industry, national laboratories and the federal government. VCU is currently the only university in Virginia to offer a full suite of graduate and undergraduate degrees in nuclear engineering, including an ABET accredited BS in Mechanical Engineering with a Major Concentration in Nuclear Engineering, and MS and PhD degrees in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering. Currently, approximately 100 students are enrolled in the undergraduate nuclear engineering major concentration and approximately 85 graduate students are enrolled in the MS and PhD programs in mechanical and nuclear engineering.
VCU’s Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering currently has 24 full-time faculty (5 of whom perform research focused on nuclear science and technology), as well as modern facilities for radiation detection and measurement, high temperature materials, radiochemistry, used nuclear fuel reprocessing and advanced modeling and simulation of nuclear systems.
