Description:

Oil and gas engineering involves the production of oil and gas in an economical and environmentally safe manner. The technical knowledge and hands-on experience you’ll gain in this program are specific to industry requirements, so you can be sure your degree will be relevant to your chosen field. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur in class, during tutorials, and through completing a team-based design course in your fourth year.



This fully accredited program features a common first year, which consists of 10 courses in mathematics, sciences, computing, engineering principles, communications and design. These courses will provide you with a solid foundation for your engineering training and introduce you to a variety of engineering disciplines. You'll apply for admission to a specific engineering program at the end of your first year.
