Now the Class of ’42 Associate Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE), Short won a Junior Bose Teaching Award in 2017, and his innovative approach to classroom instruction can be seen in the two courses he’s transformed: 22.033 (Nuclear Systems Design) and 22.01 (Introduction to Nuclear Engineering and Ionizing Radiation). Short started teaching the design course in 2011 during his postdoc, one year after receiving a PhD from NSE. First as a postdoc and then (starting in 2013) as a junior faculty member, he was encouraged to stick with the usual format. The course’s big design project was closely integrated with the pet projects of senior faculty, Short says, “leaving little room for imagination or creative input by the s ....
