The Fifth SPE Colloquium on Petroleum Engineering Education - An Industry Perspective Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Abstract The Fifth SPE Colloquium on Petroleum Engineering Education (CPEE),, held 2328 July 2000, was a very successful gathering of educators, technical leaders, engineers, and scientists from academia, industry, and government. The purpose was to address the critical issue of industry-university-government partnership in education, technology development, and technology transfer. The ultimate goal was to identify ways to develop the engineers and technology that the industry will need for the future. This paper reports the consensus of the Colloquium pertaining to: 1) the industry's current expectations for new petroleum engineering graduates (B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.) and 2) the future of research and development (R&D) activity in academia. Other subjects such as petroleum engineering education, curricula, technology transfer, and ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) issues are presented in a companion paper. In the context of this paper, academia refers to the U.S. petroleum engineering schools, and industry means the upstream segment of the U.S. petroleum industry. While this presentation has a U.S. framework, some findings may certainly apply globally elsewhere.
