希望学习石油工程专业的新生将被录取为新生工程专业。但是，如果愿意，可以允许他们陈述石油工程学的偏好，这将作为新生大学部门奖学金的考虑因素。大学新生工程计划的重点是加强建议和职业咨询，目的是向学生提供必要的信息，以就专业的选择做出明智的决定。从新生工程计划进入石油工程计划要求平均绩点为2.80或更高。石油工程理学学士学位课程至少需要129个学时。这些要求是对代数，三角学和基本ROTC课程所获得的学分的补充。对于石油工程学的所有课程，学生每学分必须至少保持两个成绩分。
Petroleum engineers extract oil, gas and other resources from the Earth, and they do it all over the world. They plan and supervise the drilling of wells, evaluate oil and gas production, and predict future production from the Gulf of Mexico to the coasts of Singapore. Aside from everyday gasoline, petroleum is also used in different fuels, and its byproducts are found in everything from car tires to toys.<br>The unique structure of our department benefits our research efforts and provides students with unique opportunities for collaboration and multi-disciplinary understanding.<br><br>Research in petroleum engineering focuses on exploring, drilling, and extracting hydrocarbon resources, and explores topics such as mechanical earth modeling, CO2 sequestration, and enhanced oil recovery.<br>S&T petroleum engineering grads work all over the world in the areas of drilling, production, and reservoir engineering of oil and gas fields.
