Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering/MSc in Petroleum Engineering in Lubbock United States | Texas Tech University

Petroleum Engineering applies fundamental sciences like mathematics, geology, physics, chemistry, and engineering disciplines to explore, develop, extract, and transport petroleum. As the most prevalent source of portable energy, petroleum currently fuels about three-quarters of the total energy consumption in the United States. It also serves as a key raw material for manufacturing numerous products. The department actively helps students secure employment, including summer internships and permanent roles after graduation. Through the Dean’s office, interview and resume workshops are held each fall and spring to enhance students' job-seeking abilities, supporting the petroleum engineering program's excellent job placement record. The curriculum undergoes regular evaluation and updates to maintain accreditation and student employability. Faculty engagement with ABET and the SPE Education and Accreditation Committee keeps the department aligned with current engineering education standards. Moreover, faculty have participated and played leading roles in all nine Colloquiums on Petroleum Engineering Education. Since 1991, curriculum revisions have been carried out by the Petroleum Engineering Curriculum Committee, incorporating feedback from the Petroleum Industry Advisory Board, ABET guidelines, and the department's planning and assessment methods.
