The Petroleum Engineering program is devoted to educating exemplary petroleum engineers by instituting best learning practices that drive knowledge, build skills and competencies, and inspire the learner to define a purpose, develop a passion to forever learn, cultivate a sense of responsibility toward the profession, society and the environment, and attain the ability to confront challenges and to make decisions, and in so doing contribute to the advancement of the community, immediate and beyond.

The educational objectives of the Petroleum Engineering (PE) program are determined to support career advancement of the graduates and as they pursue their career goals, the graduates will:

    1. Be competent to handle complex petroleum engineering tasks requiring multifaceted skills.

    2. Be recognized for their ability to pursue innovative solutions and to make decisions through creative integration of best practices in the oil and gas industry.

    3. Demonstrate career advancement and personal attributes to handle management and leadership roles.

    4. Exhibit commitment to the well-being of the community and the environment, pursuant to relevant solutions.

Upon completion of the program, graduates shall have:

    1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics

    2. an ability to 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

    3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences

    4. an ability to 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

    5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives

    6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

    7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.


The undergraduate curriculum for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Petroleum Engineering consists of 150 credit-hours of course work + ICDL, where the standard duration of study is 6 semesters.

Petroleum engineers attain a broad spectrum of skills sought by almost every relevant profession. Industries, enterprises, and service providers requiring petroleum engineering skills include: oil and gas production, refining and distribution, excavation, process, consulting, environmental institutions, and government. Most importantly, you can imagine something that never was and make it a reality! There is so much work to be done to guarantee the future of mankind and petroleum engineers can tap the possibilities through the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurism.
