Course Learning Outcomes and Relationship to Program Outcomes: Course Learning Outcome: At the end of the course, students will be able to… Identify an engineering problem in the oil and gas industry, either general in nature or related to a specific field Search modern electronic databases containing literature in petroleum technology to find papers related to the engineering problem identified, and compile a bibliography in SPE format Read papers found in the literature search, identify those that are relevant to the problem chosen, and summarize the relevance of each in two or three sentences Prepare a literature review, properly citing references using the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) guidelines, summarizing what has been done by previous authors to address the problem of interest, the weaknesses in previous solutions or what has not been done, and the need for further study Set objectives (consistent with identified study needs) for an independent study (that can be completed using only resources that are reasonably certain to be available to the student) of the petroleum engineering problem identified Prepare a plan, consisting of proposed methodology, available data and a list of tasks, to accomplish the study objectives Identify the significance, potential benefits, and possible applications of the anticipated results of the independent study Write a title and abstract for the study proposal consistent with SPE standards Prepare Microsoft PowerPoint slides for an oral presentation of the proposed study Present the proposal orally to a panel of practicing engineers from the petroleum industry and faculty members in 10 to 15 minutes, using PowerPoint slides Program Outcomes 5, 9, 13 5, 9, 11 5, 9 5, 6, 7, 9 3, 5, 9, 13 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 3, 8, 9, 13 7 7, 11 7 Related Program Outcomes: No. PETE graduates must have… 3 An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs 5 An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems 6 An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility 7 An ability to communicate effectively 8 The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context 9 A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning 11 An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. 13 An ability to recognize and take into account the difference in perspective of the scientist and the engineer and to focus on engineering problem solving techniques.
