PSU recruiting spotlight: North Carolina's Dominique Noble hitting hard on field and in classroom - The York Daily Record
One of the nation's top defensive backs has PSU high on his list -- for football and a nuclear engineering degree.
By FRANK BODANI Daily Record/Sunday News


7/3/10
... Noble, one of the top high school defensive backs in the nation, wants to be an engineer some day. But not just any engineer. A nuclear engineer.
And Penn State is one of the top schools on his list -- for football and for that stratospheric degree choice.
...
But nuclear engineering?
Penn State certainly offers the major. ... Nuclear engineering courses include "Fundamentals of Reactor Physics," "Nuclear Fuel Management" and "Reactor Core Thermal-Hydraulics."
But if any high school football player could handle this, Noble deserves a shot. He owns a 3.5 grade-point average in an "honors" course load, with a particular fondness for math and science.
It all seemed to click a couple of years ago when he was researching a school project and came upon this most special engineering field.

GT and PSU are among 27 schools that offer nuclear engineering. ND offers several engineering degrees but nuclear isn't one of them.

Maybe he'll change his field.

But it would be a gas if he joins the periodic training table at ND.

You could.

But Heisenberg wouldn't say with any certainty that Dominque will likely be a Noble Element in Kelly's Formula For Success.

Unless he was cooking meth. In New Mexico. With a high school drop out.

Jeff Baumhower, IrishEyes, reported 7/21 that Noble has 3 in mind and ND is one of them.

On 7/3 a PSU writer noted Noble wanted a nuclear engineering career.


???


Are we filling the dance card or a viable contender? ND needs DBs but doesn't offer a nuclear engineering degree. Noble fits the big DB Kelly and Diaco supposedly are looking for.

Can I just say a "nuclear engineering" degree is pretty silly. Long winded explanation:

One great thing about Penn State is that they offer a lot of... "unique"... engineering degrees and are respected OK as an engineering school because they do have a very good curriculum for these degrees.

For instance, I was a civil engineer, and within civil engineering you choose a concentration in structures or environmental engineering. Penn State offers a degree called "architectural engineering" (and to my knowledge they are the only college in the country that does) where it cuts out all of the usual civil courses and only teaches you structures. As such, you basically get a master's level education in your undergrad... the problem is you miss out on all of the general classes within the major.

Fast forward to graduating in a bad economy. No one is hiring structural engineers to do that kind of design work. On the other side, there are tons of jobs in infrastructure/transportation/light civil construction. Because of the great overall skill set you get from Notre Dame plus the alumni network I was able to get a job... with an electrical engineering firm even though that is not my specialty.

If you go for "nuclear engineering" you better be darn sure you want to design plants for the rest of your life and you better hope people are hiring. Especially from a school like Penn State that has a good, but not great, reputation. Usually you would go for a chemical engineering degree or something like that and then go get your master's if you were sure that was what you wanted to specialize in.

I really wish I could sit this kid down and say "dude... get a normal EG degree and if you want to go to grad school instead of the NFL that is easy to do." Alas, I can't.

Going to GT on the 28th with his mother. He is basically wanting her approval before he commits.

If everything goes right he will be a Yellowjacket.

Per Rivals on 7/19
