Return to: Schools and Departments

Professor of Practice: M. Oraby

Assistant Professors: S. Fakher, G. Hegazy

Petroleum and Energy Engineering department offers a B.Sc. in Petroleum Engineering. The Department provides an extremely challenging and exciting career involving the discovery and exploration of the earth’s energy resources through knowledge of basic sciences, geosciences and petro-sciences. The discovery and production of the primary energy resources, namely fossil fuel and natural gas, will be the focus of this program; related topics include recent advances in exploration, drilling, production, reservoir development, and management. Although the main focus is Petroleum Engineering and Gas Technology, alternative energy resources such as solar, wind, fuel cell, and nuclear technologies will be adequately covered. Knowledge of related environmental issues and resource management along with excellent communication, language and IT skills will give graduates a competitive edge in this fast growing profession. Our primary goal is to produce highly qualified Engineers with the best possible preparation to compete in local, regional, and global energy related job markets, or to continue their education towards higher degrees.

The Petroleum Engineering (B.S.) program has an equivalence from the Supreme Council of Universities in Egypt.

The Petroleum Engineering (B.S.) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the commission’s General Criteria and the Program Criteria for the Petroleum and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
