Programme Educational Objectives: Graduates of APU Bachelor of Engineering in their respective programs are expected within five years of graduation to attain the following programme educational objectives:
Petroleum engineers travel to where petroleum reservoirs are known to exist. They define and develop the reservoirs, and produce oil and gas with maximum profitable recovery. Petroleum engineering allows one to specialize in several different oil & gas specialties, each with its own unique challenges and rewards. The careers and job activity areas are as a:
Programme Outcomes: The students, upon completion of their study, should attain the following outcomes:
The Industry-Academia partnership at APU has been further enhanced with Petroleum Experts Limited, UK (PETEX) and Rock Flow Dynamics Ltd., USA (RFD) having provided industrial software for student learning and research purposes. APU students now have the hands-on practical experiences through petroleum engineering related software tools which also is being applied in their Field Development Project (FDP) and Final Year Project (FYP) works. APU is one of the first universities in Malaysia to provide students with a combination of Integrated Production Modelling (IPM) and Reservoir Engineering Simulation (tNav) modern industrial tools. These now are also a strong additions to the Computer Modelling Group (CMG) software which is used for reservoir modelling and enhanced oil recovery studies. The software applications are part of the infusion on technology on to the Petroleum Engineering programme at APU. PETEX Software Suite (worth £1,731,031.66) includes: Hardlock system 10 copies of:
B.Eng (Hons) in Petroleum Engineering is powered by: The infusion of software application for petroleum engineering has been fully incorporated into the curriculum. This is in line with the industry’s move towards Digital Transformation and enhancing productivity in the field. Strong Industry-Academia partnerships at APU with organizations such as Petroleum Experts Limited, UK (PETEX) and Rock Flow Dynamics Ltd., USA (RFD) have allowed for the provision of industrial software for student learning and research purposes. APU students have the hands-on practical experiences through petroleum engineering related software tools which also are being applied in their Field Development Project (FDP) and Final Year Project (FYP) works. APU is one of the first universities in Malaysia to provide students with a combination of Integrated Production Modelling (IPM) and Reservoir Engineering Simulation (tNav) modern industrial tools. Further strengthening the curriculum is the application of the Computer Modelling Group (CMG) software which is used for reservoir modelling and enhanced oil recovery studies. |
