McDougall School of Petroleum Engineering

The School also offers the undergraduate degree program. Its objectives are to produce a petroleum engineer who is capable of working as a drilling and completions, production, or reservoir engineer; to develop the ability to analyze, synthesize, and design open-ended petroleum engineering systems using available engineering tools; to understand the associated uncertainties and evaluate the economic and social impact; and to develop the ability to synthesize inputs from various sources and articulate technical concepts.

Mission

The mission of the graduate program in petroleum engineering is to provide graduate students the technical knowledge and research experience that will enable them to become leaders in a technical service, research and development, or university environment.
