<p>I know its not easy compared to other disciplines but whats the portion to study?</p>
<p>In terms of time? Well, I’m a Mechanical Engineering major starting this fall and I assume it’s the same amount of time-2-3 hours for every hour in class-so if you take 15 credit hours spend 30-45 hours outside of class studying. So school is a full time job and a half.</p>
<p>In terms of content, you should expect lots of intensive classes on differential equations, combustibility/heat, chemistry/chemical bonding, and other classically hard classes.</p>
<p>i whant 2 steady it bc i here u cn get liek chaeper gas 4 ur care i f ur workin 4 shell but wat do u think is its lotsa math?</p>
<p>^Wait, what are you asking?</p>
<p>Weeenie, check this out to get a general idea:</p>
<p>[Texas</a> Tech University :: Petroleum Engineering :: Undergraduate Curriculum](<a href=“http://www.depts.ttu.edu/pe/students/ugrad/curriculum.php]Texas”>http://www.depts.ttu.edu/pe/students/ugrad/curriculum.php)</p>
<p>Some things differ by school, though.</p>
<p>^^yeah the link says it has calculus,DE and more of math.
anyways,any engineering discipline must have math!
I love it especially when its challenging :)</p>
<p>I love it when the math is hard. Very hard.</p>
<p>PE primarily uses the fluid mechanics part of physics, since oil is a fluid. These involve partial differential, flow equations, and conservation of mass.</p>
<p>PE also uses watered down (nothing deep) geology, chemistry, economics, and even some computer programming (in Reservoir Simulation).</p>
