This roadmap emphasizes NSE applied to fusion energy systems with course 22 SB.
Course/electives are suggested that provide multi-disciplinary depth in fusion energy, including entry-level graduate courses. UROPs among fusion faculty and at MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center are highly encouraged.
