Mechanical EngineeringMechanical Engineers research, develop, design and test many differentmechanical devices, such as internal combustion engines, compressors,turbines, refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, and robots used inmanufacturing.The Mechanical Engineering Program at the Petroleum Institute preparesstudents for successful careers with a particular focus on applications ofMechanical Engineering in the petrochemical industry. The programincludes extensive use of computer analyses and laboratory work instate-of-the-art facilities, as well as internships in industry.For more information about the Mechanical Engineering Program atthe Petroleum Institute, please visit:http://www.me.pi.ac.ae and/or email mechanicalengineering@pi.ac.ae.Mechanical Engineers work in many areasbesides the petrochemical industry. It is oneof the largest and broadest of the engineeringdisciplines. For example, MechanicalEngineers work in:n energy conservation and managementn automotive as well as aerospace industriesn computers and biomechanicsn transportationn manufacturingn technical salesn administration and managementn education and researchMechanical Engineering ProgramThe Petroleum Institute

Petroleum EngineeringPetroleum Engineers are concerned with the exploration, drilling,production and distribution of oil and gas. They confirm and evaluatethe presence and size of deposits, and design equipment and processesto achieve their most profitable recovery and distribution.The Petroleum Engineering Program at the Petroleum Institute enablesstudents to apply engineering principles and practices to thepetroleum industry. Courses are taught using state-of-the-art laboratoriesand simulators.Employers of Petroleum Engineers include major oil companies suchas ADNOC, as well as smaller, independent oil exploration and productioncompanies, education and research institutes, and servicecompanies worldwide.Petroleum Engineers may specialize ina number of areas related to thepetroleum industry, such as:n drillingn productionn design of facilities such asoffshore platforms and pipelinesFor more information about the Petroleum Engineering Program atthe Petroleum Institute, please visit:http://pi.pe.ac.ae and/or email petroleumengineering@pi.ac.ae.Petroleum Engineering ProgramThe Petroleum Institute

Petroleum GeosciencesPetroleum Geoscientists interpret rocks and make physical measureunderstandingthe geologic formation and properties of rock whereoil and gas are found.The Petroleum Geosciences Program enables students to applyprinciples of geology and geophysics to the petrochemical industry.Courses are taught using state-of-the-art technology and laboratories,and a highlight of the program is the Petroleum Field Geologycourse, held in Italy for 3rd or 4th year students.Besides the petrochemical industry,Geoscientists work in a variety of othertypes of organizations, including: service companies environmental agencies education and research institutes.For more information about the Petroleum Geosciences Programat the Petroleum Institute, please visit:http://www.geo.pi.ac.ae and/or email geosciences@pi.ac.aePetroleum GeosciencesThe Petroleum Institute

Graduate StudiesIn order to fulfill its mission of supporting and advancing the oil and energyindustry, the Petroleum Institute launched its first Post-graduate Programsin Fall 2007. Our programs provide their graduates with advanced knowledgeand skills in the technical and business/related areas required tofurther their career aspirations. Accordingly, each program of study requiresa combination of courses in the field of study and business.The Petroleum Institute has invested in the necessary technology toprovide for a blended learning format that allows for a combination ofvideo-teleconferencing (for the delivery of lectures and seminars), andBlackboard technology to ensure students’ access to on-campus resourcesand course material as well as faculty accessibility and monitoring ofstudents in remote locations.Master of Engineering degrees arenow offered in the following areas:• Chemical Engineering• Electrical Engineering• Mechanical Engineering• Petroleum EngineeringThe Petroleum Institute is committed to academic excellence and isdedicated to the development of quality education for all qualifiedstudents without compromising its standards. We believe that our systemof course delivery will enhance our coursework towards a more accessibleprocess of instruction and learning.For more information about Graduate Studies at the Petroleum Institute,please visit: www.graduatestudies.pi.ac.aeand/or email: graduatestudies@pi.ac.ae.Graduate StudiesThe Petroleum Institute
