Implementation of a proposal developed with the approval of the advisor. It includes a thesis report and a final defense in front of a committee. Prerequisite: Department approval. Mission The Petroleum Engineering program seeks to produce petroleum engineers who use their knowledge and ability to design and construct sustainable petroleum engineering systems, which serve the needs of society and adhere to professional, ethical, and environmental standards. Graduates will understand and be able to apply current knowledge of engineering, environmental, and legal issues to advance sustainable engineering practices. The curriculum shares three basic tenants: scientific and technological excellence, balance between theory and practice, and a commitment to self-maintained and enduring personal and professional development. Petroleum engineering graduates are naturally committed to life-long learning and are problem-solvers ready to deal with any technological challenge at local, regional and/or international scales. Program Educational Objectives PETROLEUM ENGINEERING The program will prepare students to: • Use appropriate engineering skills and tools to design sustainable projects; • Have an ethical and professional commitment to the community and its environment; and • Communicate effectively and professionally in dealing with basic concepts in management, business, and public policy. THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING IN PETROLEUM ENGINEERING Program Learning Outcomes • An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. • 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. • An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. • An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must cons
