Your courses will be or have relations with Calculas, Physics(such as thermodynamics), Physical Chemistry(such as gas etc.), PGE(petroleum and gas ENG) and so. you have to know you will do Maths and Physics most of your time.
I would love to go into this field, but I'm getting discouraged because it feels like you have to go to a specialized school. I just applied for a community college for an engineering associates program today and am using my g.i. bill. Once I get an associates in engineering, what could I do to go further?
More people than you think go to community college to get all the pre-requisites out of the way. I went to a community college for 3 years before selecting a school that offered petroleum engineering. To be honest an associates of engineering is going to do nothing for you except get all those pre engineering classes out of the way e.g. (physics, chemistry, mathematics etc.). This is a good thing though because it's much cheaper at a community college. After you make it that far than determine what you want to do and what universities offer the degree you are after. Petroleum Engineering is one of those degrees that aren't offered at every school. Just get online and do a little research to find a school you'd like to get your degree from.
I am an international student and thinking to fallow a petroleum engineering course... i have never study physics or chemestry before. so do you think will it be hard to begin ?
Well I'm taking 1,2&3 Physics 1 Calculus based Chemistry 1,2 As a Precourse, just to transfer to Colorado school of mines where I'm going to get my bachelors in petroleum engineering as a reservoir! I'm currently at red rock community college, and got my ges and went there! But in order for me to transfer I must maintain a 2.7 but I have a 3.8 so I'm good! But if you want to just work your ass off and get a good gpa
All the ones the college you attend require for graduation. All of your physics, math, engineering sciences, I would also advise programming courses to aide in numerical methods. Linear Algebra would be helpful, look into thermo 2 if you want a better understanding of heat transfer.
+Moha Aden The curriculum for ABET (Accredited Board for Engineering and Technology) schools generally requires on average about 120 credit hours to obtain a bachelors in petroleum engineering. So if you go to school as a traditional student than that will be about 14 - 16 hours per semester.

I love the job but once he said calculus and trig. idk now
one thing he forgot to mention mention was the salary
its $127,000
payscale average is all the way up to $160k now
That's a decrease by 10k. I don't give 2 shits.

+Kyle Gustafson The University of Oklahoma has a good program in petroleum engineering.

fallow et closely bru.
yes problem it's you don't chemistry and physics
You will fail forever
Hey I wanna be a petroleum engineering but I wanna know which classes do I really need to take.
Well I'm taking 1,2&3
Physics 1 Calculus based
Chemistry 1,2

how many hours do u have to be in class .... when learning petroleum eng in universities

+Kyle Gustafson thnks man
What's wrong with been old
I thought about petroleum engineering but decided on electrical engineering....
how,could.be,petroleum-engineering
for,future
to much traveling,,i need to be able to kick my kids ass when i have them lol dont think theres much balance in this job field for raising kids
Probably not. You're too old
I wish they'd cut the STEM nonsense.
