SPE and the Association of Heads of U.S. Petroleum Engineering Schools host this colloquium to provide opportunities for industry, government, and academic representatives to work together to build a stronger educational experience for petroleum engineers.

Objectives

• Develop a better joint understanding of the industry’s training needs and how academia, in partnership with industry, the service sector, and government, can help fill those needs.
• Assess the technical and personal qualifications required of graduate engineers to meet the industry’s needs and how academia can prepare students to meet those qualifications.
• Discuss the evolving roles of academia, industry, the service sector, government, and SPE in education.
• Develop a proactive course of action to implement the findings and recommendations of the colloquium.
• Strengthen industry/education/government partnerships to develop the people and technology the industry will need in the 21st
  Century.
