The Petroleum Institute | Annual Report - Academic Year 2011 - 2012 The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research approved two new graduate programs, namely the Master of Engineering (MEng) in Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Engineering and the Master of Science (MSc) in Applied Chemistry. The first one was officially launched in Spring 2012 while the second one kicks-off in Fall 2012. IV. New Initiatives On Wednesday 9 May 2012, the 1st Annual Graduate Research Conference was held in the newly renovated Arzanah ADMA- OPCO Auditorium. The conference consisted of 20 oral and 12 poster presentations by graduate students and was attended by senior management, faculty and students. The primary aims of the conference were: (a) To give the opportunity to graduate students to present their work to the PI community and receive feedback (b) To give the OPCO’s engineers and scientists the opportunity to become familiar with the PI’s research work. Most of the projects are either funded by or are directly related to ADNOC and the opcos’ needs (c) To help senior undergraduate students to appreciate the research component of graduate studies at the PI and motivate them to pursue a graduate degree after completion of their undergraduate studies Awards to the best oral and poster presentations were given during the annual graduate school dinner on 6 June 2012. Research collaboration Research collaboration with partner universities was enhanced significantly during 2011 – 2012. PhD students from the University of Minnesota and Rice University visited for a period of several months and worked on joint PI – Partner University research projects under the supervision of PI faculty. In addition, faculty members from various partner universities visited PI to lecture to graduate students. V. Future Plans/Initiatives The PI is committed to develop its own PhD program in various engineering disciplines in the near future. The new PI Research Center will be ready in early 2014 and – together with the development of the labs and the welcoming of some high-profile academics to the PI - will ensure a truly high quality program. Meanwhile, we will pursue further education and research collaboration with our partner universities. 36
