The Fifth SPE Colloquium on Petroleum Engineering Education - An Industry Perspective

# abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>                <jats:p>The Fifth SPE Colloquium on Petroleum Engineering Education (CPEE),, held 2328 July 2000, was a very successful gathering of educators, technical leaders, engineers, and scientists from academia, industry, and government. The purpose was to address the critical issue of industry-university-government partnership in education, technology development, and technology transfer. The ultimate goal was to identify ways to develop the engineers and technology that the industry will need for the future.</jats:p>                <jats:p>This paper reports the consensus of the Colloquium pertaining to: 1) the industry's current expectations for new petroleum engineering graduates (B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.) and 2) the future of research and development (R&D) activity in academia.</jats:p>                <jats:p>Other subjects such as petroleum engineering education, curricula, technology transfer, and ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) issues are presented in a companion paper.</jats:p>                <jats:p>In the context of this paper, academia refers to the U.S. petroleum engineering schools, and industry means the upstream segment of the U.S. petroleum industry. While this presentation has a U.S. framework, some findings may certainly apply globally elsewhere.</jats:p>
