Our Mission
We strive to bring nuclear engineering to Queen's University, bridging the gap between theoretical physics and practical engineering. Now officially ratified by EngSoc Council, QNET is working toward our first flagship build, the SMR Cooling System. Joining us now means you can help shape the direction of our projects from the very beginning.

Our Values
Every decision we make is guided by three core principles that define QNET's culture and direction.
Nuclear First
Every project must teach real nuclear engineering principles. We don't build for the sake of building. We build to understand.
Interdisciplinary by Design
Nuclear engineering touches every field. Our teams span mechanical, electrical, software, research, and materials, always together.
Built to Scale
We start with student-scale projects. But every decision we make is with a view toward advanced systems: IEC fusion, plasma, high-voltage.
