Program Overview

Program Overview

The Master of Engineering in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering is a course-based program designed to expand students' knowledge of chemical and petroleum engineering beyond the undergraduate level. This high-impact, condensed cohort program can be completed in eight months over the Fall and Winter term of one academic year.

Program Details

• The program is not currently accepting applications.
• It is a full-time program, with no part-time options available.
• The program consists of 10 courses, including four core engineering courses and six petroleum engineering courses.
• The core courses include Engineering Tools, Sustainability, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Project Management.
• The petroleum engineering specialization includes six courses with topics such as Applied Reservoir Engineering, Subsurface Production Operations, Reservoir Analysis and Description, Enhanced Oil Recovery, Natural Gas Engineering, Economic Analysis of Petroleum Systems, and Drilling Engineering.

Specializations

• Petroleum Engineering

Outcomes

Petroleum engineers apply the principles of geology, physics, chemistry, and engineering sciences to recover petroleum and natural gas from conventional and unconventional reservoirs and oil sands. They may work in software development for chemical process/petroleum reservoir simulation, data collection, and analysis. Possible career paths include:

• Design Engineer
• Drilling Engineer
• Oil and Gas Engineer
• Petrophysical Engineer
• Production Engineer
• Reservoir Engineer
• Up-Stream Processing Engineer
• Process Engineer
• Petroleum Reservoir Engineer
• Petroleum Production Engineer

Admission Requirements
