The department's computer lab was conceived as a place for the students to be taught state-of-the-art software used in petroleum engineering. The department makes every effort to equip the laboratory with industry-standard software, which helps to prepare our students for their professional careers in the oil and gas industry.

The owner companies have generously donated this software, and the department appreciates these gestures and contributions to the educational efforts of the faculty.
