MANE 4470 - Radiological Engineering

A foundational course on the principles of radiation and radiation protection (health physics). Provides a fundamental understanding of natural and anthropogenic sources of radiation, radiation interactions in matter, the biological effects of radiation, internal and external dosimetry, and radiation shielding. The use of computational and simulation techniques is emphasized throughout the course. Studio-style case studies examine the medical, socio-political, and regulatory aspects of radiation utilization and protection.

Prerequisite: (MANE 2110 or CSCI 1100 ) and MANE 2830.
