  > He was educated in the public school of Plains, attended Georgia Southwestern College and the Georgia Institute of Technology, and received a B.S. degree from the United States Naval Academy in 1946. In the Navy he became a submariner, serving in both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets and rising to the rank of lieutenant. Chosen by Admiral Hyman Rickover for the nuclear submarine program, he was assigned to Schenectady, New York, where he took graduate work at Union College in reactor technology and nuclear physics and served as senior officer of the pre-commissioning crew of the Seawolf, the second nuclear submarine. https://www.cartercenter.org/about/experts/jimmy_carter.html https://www.cartercenter.org/about/experts/jimmy_carter.html

    Wikipedia -- > "In March 1953, Carter began nuclear power school, a six-month non-credit course covering nuclear power plant operation at the Union College in Schenectady." which was not completed, through no fault of his own.

  > not a nuclear engineer Former Navy nuclear engineering officer here -- I guess it depends on your definition of "nuclear engineer," but I imagine most of us "nukes" think of Jimmy Carter as one of our own.
