Undergraduate Program of Petroleum Engineering (in English) – 2017 Version

(Enrolled in Fall semester)

(Specialty Code: 081502)

I. Educational Objectives
The educational aim of Petroleum Engineering specialty is to cultivate qualified personnel with advanced
technology and engineering knowledge. To develop all-round morality, intellectuality and physical fitness,
they can adapt to the needs of modern petroleum industrial development. They don’t gain just the basic
training on petroleum engineering, but also can be engaged in petroleum engineering design, operation
and construction, production and management, scientific development and applied research etc. when
they graduate from the university.

II．Requirements

Graduates should acquire the following knowledge and capabilities.

1. Graduates will have solid foundation on math, physics, chemistry, mechanics and geology etc. They are
able to use the basic Chinese to read Chinese books and magazines of their own specialty and have some
skills such as listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation etc.

2. Graduates will grasp the basic theory and professional knowledge of engineering science required in
their own specialty. They will possess preliminary capability to use basic applied theory and knowledge
to go on oil and gas well drilling and recovering engineering design and oil and gas well development
project design, to analyze and solve practical problems on petroleum engineering, and to make
technological improvement, scientific development and applied research.

3. Graduates will have fairly strong experiment test, calculation and expression abilities and master
document retrieval and other method to acquire scientific and technological information.

4. Graduates will have a better self-study and work adaptation capability, computer operation and
application ability and innovative consciousness.

5. Graduates will have insight and ability to use systematic engineering ideas and modern operational
knowledge to go on production and organizational management.

Elective instructions:
1. Elective credit requirements:
(1) The elective course requires 37 credits.
(2) Require at least 27 credits from the elective course of the petroleum engineering major, including at least 16 elective credits from the subject-based course, including at least 8 credits for
the mathematics foundation class and at least 8 credits for the major foundation class; At least 11 elective credits are earned in Groups A, B, C, and D. It is recommended to take a bilingual
course and two research courses. Students are required to select a group from the four groups A, B, C, and D as the main training group, and obtain at least 6 credits from the group.
(3) Require at least 10 general education elective credits, of which at least 6 credits are obtained from the core courses of humanities and arts literacy, management wisdom and international
vision, physical and mental health and career development, and 6 credits cannot all belong to the same module.
2. Elective guidance:
(1) The course with the ● number in the remarks is a professional core elective course, which is recommended for electives; the employment students are recommended to take the course
with △ in the remarks, and the potential postgraduate students are recommended to take the course with ▲.
