<p>can anyone please tell me what will an individual majoring in petroleum engineering study during the four years?</p>
<p>I don’t think this is the right forum for you to post.</p>
<p>“Four-year Degree Program
The four-year curriculum in petroleum engineering includes sufficient training in basic engineering sciences to prepare the graduate for the application of engineering principles to the petroleum industry. Courses in geology give an understanding of the geological structures and conditions favorable for petroleum deposits. To the basic subjects are added courses in petroleum engineering which illustrate the application of the engineering principles to the type of problems and solution methods used in the petroleum industry.”</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>
