Hello I've got two main questions,
I will be starting my senior year of a Mechanical Engineering BS at university this fall with a current GPA of 3.2. I'm wondering where this puts me in my chances of getting into the NUPOC program? I had no idea it was a competitive program before looking around online.
If I was to get into the program, I'm wondering if the work involved would be engineering based and viewed that way on a resume. What I mean is, the work isn't technical repair/maintaining of current machines? It would be real engineering work on nuclear reactors, not a glorified handyman who tightens nuts and bolts. And the time spent in the navy would be comparable spending the same amount of time in an Engineering firm as far as future employers are concerned. Looking around I'm seeing there's different levels of Nuclear jobs available in the Navy and I'm trying to verify this would be a real engineering one before looking into it further.
