Hands On Nuclear Engineering Education – A Blended Approach

Blended instruction has become a powerful delivery mode whose power lies in the merging of traditional, face-to-face instruction and web-based instruction. It also lies in the significant transfer of responsibility for learning from the instructor to the student, a significant – and often challenging – culture change for both students and faculty. In this paper, we share the process, facilitated by an education grant from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that we followed to redesign Hands-on Nuclear Education to allow for a blended delivery format.
