Enhancing the Nuclear Workforce
Program Learning Outcomes for Health Physics
Program learning outcomes are the knowledge, skills, and abilities that students will achieve before they graduate. The outcomes below were developed by the faculty in the Health Physics program at CBC with input from accrediting bodies, advisory committees, employers, etc. This collaboration ensures that the outcomes are relevant for careers that this degree leads to.
Students graduating with an BAS in Health Physics will be able to:
- Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
- Design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
- Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
- Function on multi-disciplinary teams.
- Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
- Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
- Apply knowledge of atomic and nuclear physics to nuclear and radiological systems and processes.
- Apply knowledge of transport and interaction of radiation with matter to nuclear and radiation processes.
- Measure nuclear and radiation processes.
- Identify professional and ethical responsibility.
- Explain the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and societal context.
- Discuss contemporary issues.
