Excelsior College awarded 245K for Advanced Nuclear Project - Life Long Learning - 06-19-2018
GOOD NEWS! Excelsior College has been awarded a $245K grant by the US Dept Of Energy for an advanced nuclear reactor project! Joining a select group of prestigious peer institutions, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Penn State University, and the University of Florida, Excelsior has been chosen over some stiff competition. The award will fund the development of an advanced web-based nuclear reactor simulator, as part of the Nuclear Energy University Program. Welcoming the news of the award, our very own Dr. Michael Johnson, commented, “this is an incredible success story for Excelsior College and a powerful endorsement for the quality of our nuclear programs! To be included among a list of world-leading institutions, like MIT, Penn State, and the University of Florida, is indicative of the unrivaled reputation that Excelsior has achieved for its ABET-accredited programs. With faculty that have extensive industry experience and now the opportunity to build a world-class online simulator, this puts Excelsior College in the front rank of global centers of excellence in nuclear technology.” Further details of the grant can be found on the US Dept. of Energy website:
