University of Wyoming Petroleum Engineering Syllabus

The Petroleum Engineering curriculum at the University of Wyoming requires 128 credit hours over four years. The first two years focus on math, science, and introductory engineering courses. Years three and four cover petroleum-specific topics like reservoir engineering, drilling, production, well testing, and design. Coursework becomes more specialized each year and includes labs, technical electives, and a capstone design project in the senior year.
