能源工程系在硕士和博士学位课程中提供两个不同的学位课程。水平。一个程序可以导致获得硕士学位或博士学位。石油工程学士学位，另一个导致MS或Ph.D学位。能源工程专业。可以在石油工程学或能源资源工程学中提供的工程师学位是MS学位的扩展形式，需要额外的课程和研究。博士 该学位授予独立研究中的高成就，并在书面论文和口头答辩中介绍研究结果。基本要求包括至少135个令人满意地完成的研究生学习。除硕士学位所需的45个单元外，学生还必须修读至少90个单元。这90个单元由至少36个研究单元和至少36个课程单元组成。学生的成
The Energy Resources Engineering department offers two distinct degree programs at both the M.S. and Ph.D. levels. One program leads to the degrees of M.S. or Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering, and the other leads to the degrees of M.S. or Ph.D. in Energy Resources Engineering. The Engineer degree, which may be offered in either Petroleum Engineering or Energy Resources Engineering, is an extended form of the M.S. degree with additional coursework and research. The Ph.D. degree is conferred upon demonstration of high achievement in independent research and by presentation of the research results in a written dissertation and oral defense. Basic requirements include a minimum of 135 units of satisfactorily completed graduate study. Students must take at least 90 units beyond the 45 units required for the master's degree. The 90 units are composed of a minimum of 36 units of research and a minimum of 36 units of course work. The student's record must indicate outstanding scholarship. The student must pass the department's qualifying examination, submit an approved research proposal, fulfill the requirements of the minor department if a minor is elected, and pass the University oral examination, which is a defense of the dissertation. The student must prepare a dissertation based on independent research and that makes a significant contribution to the field.
