ABSTRACT: The demand of the talents in petroleum engineering
of petroleum enterprises is analyzed in this paper according the current
situation of the engineering education. The four levels of the professional
talents needed by the petroleum enterprises are specified, which makes it clear
that what the purpose and orientation of the higher education in petroleum
engineering should be. The qualities of the petroleum engineers are discussed
specifically and it is pointed out that the training of the postgraduate for
professional degree in oil and gas engineering should be the cradle of the
petroleum engineers. A training schedule is listed in this paper based on the
discussion, including curriculum provision, practice link, thesis and training
mode, which will be a pathfinder of the education of the professional degree
graduate student in oil and gas engineering.
