The Nuclear Engineering Curriculum eXchange (NECX) is an open repository for nuclear engineering curriculum materials intentionally prepared for reuse, remixing and rejeuvination.
This repository contains only the nodes and their content. For more information, please see the full documentation.
Contributions by all are welcomed! In addition to detailed guidance, you can also review this brief guide.
Materials are bundled in small units called "Nodes", each of which is required to contain:
- a title
- a unique short title (UID)
- a list of prerequisites based on the UIDs of other nodes
- learning objectives
- a content summary
- at least one assessment object
A node may also contain:
- course notes including equations
- example source code
- citations of other work
- external readings
- instructor guidance
- graphics
- videos (or links to video content)
- audio files (or links to audio content)
- worked example problems
- reference to ABET General Criterion 3. Student Outcomes - a-k objectives
- active learning activities, including:
- demonstrations
- code completion exercises
- think pair share questions
- etc
- additional assessment objects
Experimental support for rendering nodes exists as part of the NEC-X website rendering repository, https://github.com/necx-org/necx-org.github.io. Review the instructions in that README to render these nodes.
