Bob Busch, Gary Cooper, and Norm Roderick are familiar names to many of UNM’s nuclear engineering alumni, known for both their passion about nuclear engineering as well as engineering education. Together, they have given over 100 years to the department in educating generations of nuclear engineers. In honor of their dedication to hands-on education, UNM’s Department of Nuclear Engineering has established the Busch-Cooper-Roderick Fund for Teaching Enhancement.
Contributions to this endowment will fund, in perpetuity, teaching assistantships for graduate students interested in a career teaching nuclear engineering. Building a pipeline of future nuclear engineering professors is a continuation, and recognition, of the legacy of learning and teaching demonstrated for decades by Busch, Cooper, and Roderick.
