Petroleum Engineering Education: The Road Ahead - A Summary of Major Actions at CPEE 2000 Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Abstract The Fifth SPE Colloquium on Petroleum Engineering Education (CPEE), held 2328 July 2000, focused on partnership among industry, education, and government. Attendees determined how each partner can develop the people and technology that the industry will need in the 21st century. Significantly, the group suggested ways of enhancing interaction between universities and industry by encouraging greater cooperation in identifying and funding research projects that will benefit both. Proposed collaborative efforts among universities, possibly working with government laboratories, could meet some of the growing need as research programs move away from industry settings. Universities requested assistance from industry in identifying competencies that will serve students leaving academic programs. Included in the continuous feedback industry could provide the schools might be identification of needs for continuing education or distance degree programs, including coursework that would better prepare geoscientists to work in the petroleum industry. In addition, industry could provide data sets from real fields for students to use in capstone design courses. Educators agreed to seek a means for systematic sharing of those data.
