Support Our Mission

Students in the Ken and Mary Alice Lindquist Department of Nuclear Engineering are world-class engineers in the making — but it takes a lot of hard work to get them there. The department aims to enrich every student with opportunities to participate in study-abroad and other global programs, leading-edge research, and engineering student societies and high-level organizations.

It is a testament to Penn State’s excellence that students gain such rich experiences here, and the department wants to see that tradition of excellence continue. You can contribute to this tradition and help make our students’ time at Penn State enlightening and rewarding. Private support from our generous alumni and friends enables Penn State nuclear engineers to discover their future — so they can make an impact on all of ours.

About

The Ken and Mary Alice Lindquist Department of Nuclear Engineering at Penn State is one of the top ranked nuclear engineering programs in the United States. The department distinguishes itself with a strong focus on experimental research. The actively growing department leads four educational programs for students pursuing a bachelor of science, a master of science, a master of engineering, or a doctoral degree. The Radiation Science and Engineering Center (RSEC) facilities, including the Breazeale Reactor, are available to nuclear engineering faculty and students at Penn State for research and instruction. RSEC houses the Breazeale Nuclear Reactor, the country’s first and longest operating licensed nuclear research reactor. Having access to an operating research reactor is a key strength for the department and enables Penn State to harness research and educational opportunities that are unique in the United States.
