PETROLEUM ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
This challenging program trains engineering technologists in all areas of the upstream oil and gas industry, helping meet the demand for highly-skilled people in oilfield and office positions. Using the latest computer software, students complete courses in core areas of engineering science, drilling, geology, production and reservoir engineering technology. Graduates are prepared for careers in the upstream oil and gas areas such as exploration and development, field operations, drilling, computer applications, prospect analysis and reserves determination.
PROCESS OPERATIONS
This program prepares students for careers as process operators responsible for the daily and safe running of processing equipment at industrial plants. Graduates are employed in processing industries such as petrochemical, fertilizer, pulp and paper, natural gas processing, metallurgical, oil and gas refining, and food and beverage production. Their jobs include plant, battery, process and field operators.
INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
Automated process control and measurement systems in the production of various commodities are rapidly changing and demand highly-skilled industrial instrumentation technologists. These technologists use electronic test equipment to install, troubleshoot, calibrate, maintain and repair electrical/electronic measurement and control instruments. This program provides students with sound theoretical and practical training in the operation and maintenance of pneumatic devices, control valves, electronic instruments, digital logic devices, computer-based process controls, and control system design. Students also become well versed in personal computer applications in instrumentation, process control systems design, Fieldbus, SCADA, PLC, distributed control system design and interfacing of industrial microcomputer control systems with real processes. Modern laboratory facilities include pilot-scale versions of processes found in various industries and a fully equipped control room.
