You have to be nuclear trained (i.e., Nuclear Power School, Nuclear Power Training Unit) in order to qualify as EOOW (Engineering Officer of the Watch) or as EDO (Engineering Duty Officer).

As a new Ensign in 2014, with big operations over in Iraq/Afghanistan, what can we expect after IWBC and knocking out our qual? Do we have much influence in deciding our billets or are we pretty much at the mercy of 'needs of the Navy?' I would be interested in seeing what types of opportunities IWOs have to support NSW, although information has been understandably hard to come by.
