In What Order Should You take UNENE Courses?

(The Ideal)

There is a logical order in which UNENE courses should be taken: some early on (broader courses that describe the basic characteristics of nuclear reactors and CANDUs), some mid-degree (specialist or applied courses) and some later (drawing from material presented in the first two categories). ADMI courses are generally not sensitive to order. Given the UNENE course timetable, it is not always possible to do the ideal order, especially if students rush through the degree. However students do have some flexibility, and the list below shows the recommended order in which courses should be taken, broken down into three categories: early, middle, late.  The binning into early versus late is the most important distinction from the point of view of effective learning.
