Corrosion and Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Energy and in Reactor Ops & Design (KU/TTU) 
With the resurgence of the nuclear power industry and the growth of the nuclear Navy, there is a need for engineers trained with the materials needs of the nuclear industry.  This online 3-credit course covers corrosion and degradation of materials in the nuclear and non-nuclear portions of nuclear power facilities. 

Effects of Irradiation on Electronic Materials and Devices (KU/UT)
This course is designed to discuss the effects of nuclear radiation on electronics which would be used in a nuclear environment, with an eye toward enhancing safe and long-term economical operation. The course will provide better knowledge of nuclear-related electronics.

Materials Requirements and Selection for Nuclear Engineering Applications (KU)
This course covers selection and use of proper materials in nuclear environments for safe and long-term economical operation, including: available materials and their properties; critical properties required in materials for nuclear applications; materials typically selected for nuclear applications by usage area; selection criteria by application area with consideration for cost, safety, and maintenance; selection trade-offs; new and alternative materials for current and new generation reactors; and using NDT and other methods to monitor ongoing materials performance, degradation, and maintenance needs.
