What will I learn?
Petroleum engineering focuses on the development, exploration, drilling, production, and management of oil and natural gas resources and other minerals.Our curriculum is designed to balance academic excellence in teaching and our longstanding commitment to discovering new concepts and technologies in drilling, production, and reservoir engineering. You will gain a solid foundation in broad areas of study ranging from math, physics, chemistry, and geology to technical engineering skills in blending fluids and solid mechanics.McDougall School of Petroleum Engineering is internationally recognized as one of the top petroleum engineering schools in the country. Supported by our expert faculty, you will have access to many research opportunities with 21 existing consortia and joint industry projects supported by some of the world’s top energy firms.Master of Engineering graduates are expected to:Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
