Abstract : The outcome of the evaluation shows the level of students’ consistency with the expected learning outcomes and identifies the weaknesses that are present in them for training rationale. As a result, the data highlight the necessity of the creation of certain instructional techniques that would help the students confront the challenges that arise due to nuclear chemistry. Probably this would improve the understanding p of nuclear structure and properties when jigsaw and practical strategies are used to teach. A noticeable growth of homogeneity between subjects around the engineering specialization spectrum provides an idea of what works best. High marks achieved early may indicate deficits within the domain while progressing uniformly points towards learning needs being unaddressed. Learners’ interests and the perception of their knowledge may be enhanced by employing diverse tasking and assessment strategies within the instructional applications. Nuclear chemistry may remain a challenging science that does not motivate students to learn or retain information if its delivery does not change. The action plan is part of follow-up activities like conducting active learning through group work and experiments. Such procedures are reasonable as they provide and support evidence of understanding through feedback. Adjust the existing curriculum as a pedagogical strategy for generating credible new information supported by practical benefits. Impart additional learning and teaching in a way that assists challenged or struggling learners in adapting. Be open and discuss positive outcomes so that students become more self-assured and confident. As the above recommendations and action plans were also suggested by them, it is expected that engineering students who adopt nuclear chemistry will have their education experiences enhanced. This strategic approach does more than solve the challenges noted but also employs the resources and opportunities available to promote understanding of the subject. It is also expected that these strategies will be subjected to constant evaluation to improve their effectiveness and the students’ addresses.
