It was approximately a two year course of study that covered multiple aspects of nuclear power and nuclear theory. Before the modern conventions of presentation software, all of the material was hand written up on a chalk board and all of the notes needed to be created by the student. This led to high attrition, due to the fact that students were taking ineffective notes. The way the Navy corrected this issue and lowered attrition was thanks to the advances in information technology. All of the notes are now given to the students except for some sections that need to be filled in. The material is now shown via a slideshow using presentation software and all the student needs to do is fill in the missing sections of their notes. This resulted in students having more guided study and more sailors making it out to the fleet, including
