石油工程学学士学位

希望学习石油工程专业的新生将被录取为新生工程专业。但是，如果愿意，可以允许他们陈述石油工程学的偏好，这将作为新生大学部门奖学金的考虑因素。大学新生工程计划的重点是加强建议和职业咨询，目的是向学生提供必要的信息，以就专业的选择做出明智的决定。从新生工程计划进入石油工程计划要求平均绩点为2.80或更高。石油工程理学学士学位课程至少需要129个学时。这些要求是对代数，三角学和基本ROTC课程所获得的学分的补充。对于石油工程学的所有课程，学生每学分必须至少保持两个成绩分。
Anyone with an interest in energy and a strong desire to get paid for traveling the globe might consider the possibility of a career as a petroleum engineer. Petroleum engineers seek out oil and gas reservoirs beneath the earth's surface. They develop the safest and most efficient methods of bringing those resources to the surface and to market. Many petroleum engineers travel the world or live in foreign countries - wherever their explorations take them to find and recover valuable petroleum reserves. These travels can lead to the deserts, high seas, mountains, and arctic regions of the world in order to find untapped sources of energy for the world's population. Petroleum engineers also tend to quickly assume leadership roles, handling large projects with high levels of responsibility. Because of the increasing demand for energy, there has been an accompanying increase in the demand for petroleum engineers worldwide. In the United States, the oil industry workforce is aging, and numerous opportunities are expected as a result. As a petroleum engineering student, you will study the technology of oil and gas drilling, production, reserves estimation, and the prediction of future production. You will also study various techniques for evaluating the characteristics of petroleum bearing formations and their fluid contents.
