This contract details the proposed process of training students for participation in the Nuclear Engineering program. It includes selection of students, bugetary arrangements and courses of study.

April 2, 1952

It is proposed that North Carolina State College will undertake, under contract with the Atomic Energy Commission to train 16 students for a period of nine months in a selected series of courses in Nuclear Engineering.

a. Period of agreement: September 15, 1952, to June 15 1953. b. Financial arrangements: 1. The students will be placed on the payroll of the Engineering Research Department of N. C. S. C. at $285/month(x16x9) = $41,040 2. Reimbursement to State College for tuition, instruction, handling, etc., including overhead at at $1,250 (x16) = 20.000 Total amount of reimbursement to State College in monthly installments of $6,000, the balance to become due with the last installment = $61,040 c. Selection of students: By mutual agreement between N. C. State College and representatives of the Atomic Energy Commission, selection of students by examination of the credentials submitted with the application for admission, will be made. State College is not required to accept any student whose records are not con- sidered to meet minimum requirements for admission to the prescribed course of study. d. Course of Study: 1. Assumed prerequisites: (Each student should present a record of experience including the equivalent of the following.) (a) Differential, Integral Calculus Differential Equations (b) Sophomore Engineering Physics, Modern Physics, General Inorganic Chemistry (c) Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Fluid Mechanics (d) Thermodynamics, Elements of Electrical Engineering (e) A bachelor's degree in some field of science or engineering from an academically qualified college or university. 2. Prescribed course of study: Adv. Calc. (3) Adv. Calc. (3) Adv. Diff. Eq. (3)Nuc. Physics (3) Nuc. Physics (3) Adv. Reactor Theory (3)Health Physics (3) Radioact. Tr. Tech. (4) Radiochemichal Tech. (4)Nuc. Engineering (3) Reactor Theory (3) Reactor Design (3) Eng. Elective (3) Eng. Elective (3) Eng. Elective (3)Heat Transfer (3) Prob. & Statistics (3) Special Seminar (3) 18 19 19

Students selected for admission to the training program having a weakness in any of the stipulated prerequisite courses are advised to attend the summer school session at N.C. State College beginning in June, in which most of the prerequisite courses are offered.

e. Credit toward degree: If all prerequisite specifications are met, full credit toward the fifth year professional degree in Nuclear Engineering will be granted for all prescribed courses passed with a grade of B or better. To receive this degree, it is necessary to complete at least 54 quarter credits of approved course work above the bachelor's degree with a grade of B or better, and to present a satisfactory report of an assigned research or engineering project. The project must be

accomplished and the report presented within one year after the completion of the course work in order for the degree to be granted. Credit toward a graduate degree (M.S.or Ph.D.) will not be granted for work performed in this program. f. Coordination with ORSORT: In order for the training program at N.C. State College to be closely coordi- nated with that at Oak Ridge, provision must be made for frequent contacts between the two organizations. Also, if it is intended that students, after completion of their course work at N.C.S.C., may subsequently be granted opportunity at Oak Ridge to engage in work on selected problems suitable for presentation for credit toward the Nuclear Engineering degree, the supervisory staff of N.C.S.C. will need to make frequent visits to ORNL. To provide for these contingecies, it is suggested that consultant contracts, providing for reimbursement of travel ex- penses and a nominal consulting fee be drawn between the staff members involved and Carbide and Carbon Chemical Corp. (or the A.E.C, if the latter is preferable). g. Renewal: To justify the expenditure of time, money, and effort by N.C. S. C. in providing increased staff, facilities, and equipment to accommodate the increased enrollment occasioned by the acceptance of the A.E.C students, it is suggested that an intent of renewal of this contract up to a total of not less than three years be expressed. The renewal, of course, would be subject to ad- justment in respect to the number of students involved in the program from year to year, and to such other modifications as might prove mutually desirable.
