Queen's Nuclear Engineering Team
Canada's only nuclear student design team, turning reactor theory into hands-on builds.
Fresh off the ground.
We're brand-new and moving fast: here's where things stand as we build toward our first full year at Queen's.
QNET Is Officially Ratified
EngSoc Council has voted to ratify QNET as an official design club at Queen's. Council agendas and records are public on the EngSoc site.
View the Council Agenda →QNET School Launches
Our nuclear education program kicks off this September: hands-on curriculum, site tours, and real industry exposure before any builds begin.

Our general members have chosen our first flagship build: the SMR Cooling System, a bench-scale model of passive reactor cooling.

QNET pairs structured nuclear education with real, hands-on builds, so members graduate with both the knowledge and the experience the industry is looking for.
Every member starts with QNET School, then joins a sub-team to apply that knowledge to an actual project.
Learn the Fundamentals
Reactor physics, radiation detection, and industry context, taught before any builds begin, through QNET School.
Join a Sub-Team
Apply your skills on real hardware and software: from mechanical design to thermal-hydraulic analysis and embedded systems.
Build Something Real
Present finished work at our end-of-year demonstration in front of sponsors and nuclear industry professionals.
Help us build it from scratch.
As a founding member, you'll shape what QNET becomes: its projects, its culture, and its place in the nuclear industry. There's no better time to get involved.
