A list of previously offered courses is given in page 63 as a reference. Up to three elective graduatelevelcourses can be selected from other programs of study including graduate courses in mathematics,chemistry and physics. Out of these three courses, only one course can be in business / management from thecourses listed in page 64. Selection of elective courses requires a written approval from the student’s advisor orthe graduate chair in case he/she does not have a research advisor.A tentative list of courses to be offered in the Fall and Spring semesters is given below. A full time graduate studentis expected to take at least 12 credit hours of coursework each semester thus fulfilling the requirements of thedegree in three semesters. The students are required to select their graduate advisor by the end of the firstsemester.TermFall Semester 1Spring Semester 1CoursesPEEG 510 Advanced Well Test Analysis orPEEG 511 Advanced Well Log AnalysisPEEG 530 Advanced Reservoir EngineeringCOMM 501 Technical and Scientific WritingPEEG 595 Graduate Seminar I2 Elective CoursePEEG 520 Advanced Drilling EngineeringPEEG 540 Advanced Well Performance EvaluationPEEG 596 Graduate Seminar II2 Elective CourseFall Semester 22 Elective CourseElective coursesA list of Petroleum Engineering technical elective courses is given belowPEEG 510 Advanced Well Test Analysis (3-0-3)PEEG 511 Advanced Well Logging (3-0-3)Page 65
