Vision:

Petroleum Engineering is primarily concerned with the economic extraction of oil and gas. This is accomplished through the design, drilling and operations of well systems, and the integrated management of hydrocarbon reservoirs. The Program Objectives are derived from the department mission, which is related to the mission of the College and University.

Mission:

The mission of the Petroleum Engineering department is to provide a modern petroleum engineering education with proper balance between fundamentals and practice, and to graduate petroleum engineers prepared for life-long learning and capable of being productive contributors, immediately, for the oil and gas industry. The Petroleum Engineering program mission is:

• Providing manpower needed for the petroleum engineering industry.

• Creating a new generation of petroleum engineers to meet the requirements of the future industry.

• Providing a balanced, integrated and multidisciplinary curriculum, which is appropriate for immediate professional practice, as well as for life-long learning.

• Promoting a sense of scholarship, leadership and service among the graduates.

• Developing, disseminating and applying new knowledge and technology.
