PETROLEUM ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 1

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT

In 2004, the Senate of Madonna University Nigeria approved the commencement of the Petroleum Engineering programme in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology to respond to the manpower needs of the Oil and Gas industrial Technological revolution. The Senate equally approved the commencement of Petroleum and Chemical Engineering Departments. Both programmes were merged to form the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Elele campus. The first, set of undergraduate were admitted in 2006 and commenced academic programme as freshmen for the 2006/2007 academic session.

In April 2007, both Departments were separated into two; the Department of Petroleum Engineering and the Department of Chemical Engineering respectively.

Furthermore, Faculty of Engineering and Technology was transferred to Akpugo Campus, Enugu State of Nigeria on 27th day of April 2011. The expectations are that this transfer will offer better accommodation, improve on the rate of development of Faculty of Engineering and multiply interest in engineering research, especially in the field of Petroleum Engineering.

In June 2013, the Department of Petroleum Engineering got full COREN accreditation status while in March 2016; the Department also got full NUC accreditation status.

Today, the Department is well established and has state – of – the – art equipment in the laboratories and workshops.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE PROGRAMME

The programme is structured to produce graduates with high academic standard and basic adequate practical background through local content initiatives energized by the flexibility of choice tailored to fit their personal career objectives for immediate employment in industries, Research, self employment and post graduate studies after graduation.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME

The principle objectives of the Petroleum Engineering Programme include the following:

(i) To train Petroleum Engineers with the required qualities and capabilities to counteract the ever increasing demands of not only the Nigerian Petroleum industries but also those of the general Nigerian socio-economic sectors including the academic and the international market.

(ii) To equip Nigeria and the world at large with effective professionals in the critical

growth of electrical technology;

(iii) To stimulate the interest of students in research through contact with teachers and

mentors who are active in research;

(iv) To design engineering projects and supervise their implementation;

(v) To be able to exercise original thought, have good professional judgment and be able to

take responsibility for the direction of important task;

(vi) To encourage students to consider graduate education and become aware of the need for

lifelong learning;


(vii) To provide edge-cutting training by adding value to services that motivates students to achieve their full potential using global best practices in realisation of the National Policy on Industrialisation and Self-Reliance

(viii) To inculcate basic principles and skills underlying the planning, designing, operations, and maintenance of oil and/or gas facilities.

(ix) To promote, stimulate and motivate students to target attainment of highest standards of achievements in the general engineering field through close affiliation with the existing petroleum producing, servicing and processing companies which will serve as the training ground for exposure to contemporary problems and hands-on methods of solving them.

(x) To impact students with knowledge and ethical orientation as landmarks for excellence in industries, academia and public service.

(xi) To stimulate students interest in professionalism through affiliation with relevant professional societies like SPE and COREN.

SCOPE

Petroleum Engineering programme is designed to give each student a thorough grounding in his specific professional areas of Reservoir Engineering, Petroleum production Engineering and Drilling Engineering Technology, while allowing the flexibility of choice in tailoring his individual program to fit his personal career plans for immediate employment in the industry or for postgraduate studies and research.

Specifically, a good review should examine the curriculum and resources in accordance with the following criteria:

(ii) Re-assessment/re-formulation of goals and objectives of the programme in relation to the needs of the learners and the market requirements taking into account the broader aspects of the discipline.

(iii) The market demands of the graduates now and in the future, in terms of skills needed to function as competitive professionals in the current labour market on a global scale.

(iv) Relevance of the current content in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes being taught/developed and how these meet the needs of the present and future requirements of the clientele.

(v) How the teaching and learning methods meet or fall short of current and future standards of comparable programmes.

(vi) The quality of teaching and learning material used. (vii) Outcomes of learning in terms of success, experience of learners (pass rate, knowledge and

skills acquisition, professional capability and integrity) as contributed by the programme. (viii) The views of employers and community members on the quality and relevance of the

curriculum.
