PE Curriculum

Undergraduate Curriculum in Petroleum Engineering

Program Educational Objectives

The PE Program prepares students with knowledge and skills so that they can go to work immediately after graduation or continue their higher academic qualifications. We expect our graduates, after a certain time (from 3 to 5 years), can achieve the program educational objectives as follows. Graduates of the Petroleum Engineering program will:

1. Be practical, employable and qualified production engineers, who are capable of designing, executing, producing, researching, innovation and management in specialized field.
2. Continue their professional development and become professional managers for enterprises of Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, multinational companies, and/or become scientists for research institutes and universities.
3. Keep their education up to date through self-instruction and other training to meet the challenges of the competitive, modern and dynamic workplace.

Student Outcomes

The student outcomes of our Petroleum Engineering Program are the same as those required by ABET for any engineering program to receive accreditation. The Petroleum Engineering graduates will 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.
