Description

As part of our effort to encourage high schoolstudents to consider careers in petroleum engineering, the Gulf Coast Section is holding five recruiting fairs at schools around the greater Houston area during the week of November 15. These fairs will be open to area high school students and their parents, teachers, and counselors. Each 2-hr fair will have a 30-min program of speakers with a variety of perspectives, from recent graduates to industry leaders.

The following universities have recruited prospective college students at these fairs in the past 4 years:

In addition to hosting the Recruiting Fairs to encourage the pursuit of petroleum engineering, the SPE Gulf Coast Section also gives more than $50,000 in scholarships annually to students from the 21-county Gulf Coast area. Throughout the school year, SPE volunteers are available to speak to students and adults about the oil business. The goal is to increase the public’s understanding of the science and engineering involved in our industry.
