Welcome to the educational section of the Program on Electron Beam Technology. Within this section of the Website, you can access different parts of the degree programs, look at class schedules, and course descriptions. Education is an important part of the Electron Beam Technology program. The field is relatively new, and an exciting part of technological innovation. The prospects are seemingly endless, and each day new advancements in the field are discovered.

Kent State University, presently offers an undergraduate certificate program and an associative degree on Radiation Polymer Engineering Technology, through the School of Technology. Upper division undergraduate as well as graduate course work are presently being developed to allow the university to offer a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Technology, as well as a Master of Technology (M.T.) degree, with specialization in electron beam technology and its applications.

Kent State University wants to develop the interest of, and access to, this technology (Electron Beam Technology) by students and faculty in secondary schools. Workshops are being offered for teachers in certain tech-prep programs. Teachers in these programs are always invited to return, with their students, for a visit to the NEO Beam facility. It is expected that in the longer term, field trips from surrounding high schools will take place on a regular basis.

Kent State University is also interested in promoting the use of the NEO Beam facility by students and faculty from other institutions of higher education through the state in general, and in Northeast Ohio in particular. Exploratory conversations have already been helped with representatives from various local universities.
