Accreditation
The five year entire program in Petroleum Engineering is accredited by the CACEI.
The graduate program has been accredited by the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT).
Curriculum Description
Undergraduate:
The Engineer School keeps a constant and wide revision of its program, which are structured in four main areas: 1) Basic Sciences: Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics; 2) General Engineering; 3) Petroleum Engineering; and 4) Humanities and Social Sciences.
The complete program covers 450 credits and includes practices in the laboratories and field practices in order to develop engineering skills. The programs has been designed to be covered in 10 semesters.
Masters and Doctorate:
The department is staffed with industry-experienced faculty who has an average of more than 20 years of experience per faculty member. This experience is combined with sound engineering and scientific principles in the classroom and made an integral part of the candidate’s educational challenge.
The PhD degree program requires a minimum of 6 semesters beyond the baccalaureate degree. Students in the PhD program devote at least 1/3 of their time to petroleum engineering courses, approximately 2/3 to research. An acceptable dissertation is required for the PhD degree.
Program Admission Requirements
Masters and Doctorate:
The master’s program requires 72 graduate credit hours above the baccalaureate degree(8 courses), including 24 credit hours allowed for the thesis. At least 18 credit hours of petroleum engineering courses are required in addition to the thesis. Additional credit hours of other engineering, mathematics, or science will be allowed when approved by the candidate’s advisory committee and graduate advisor. The graduate program for each candidate is specifically tailored for that candidate’s educational background, industry experience, and individual interest. Qualified students with a B. S. degree in a related field may enter the M. S. program in petroleum engineering by completing without graduate credit leveling work as needed in mathematics, geology and basic engineering courses. The details of the leveling program will be worked out on an individual basis is by the graduate adviser, and the length of the program will depend on the students background and experience.
For graduate admission in petroleum engineering, an applicant must hold a baccalaureate degree from a college or university of recognized standing and must be able to demonstrate fundamental skills in petroleum engineering. The application to the University must include an official transcript from all previous university study.
