The undergraduate program graduates around 70 Bachelor of Science engineers annually, while the graduate program has about 50 students pursuing both Master's and PhD degrees. The Department also houses the Petroleum Engineering Research and Technology Transfer (PERTT) Laboratory, a full-scale facility dedicated to drilling and production research, training, and testing. It features multiple additional computational and experimental labs for both research and education.
The Master's Program aims to develop graduates with deeper petroleum engineering expertise compared to Bachelor's degree holders. Within 2-5 years post-graduation and throughout their professional lives, MS graduates should:
Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and application of petroleum engineering principles in specialized areas like drilling, reservoir management, formation evaluation, or completions at an expert level.
Recognize technological gaps in their specialization and effectively advocate for solutions to stakeholders including employers, colleagues, and the public.
Excel as technical specialists in industry or government roles, or as educators in academic settings.
