Resources for Current Petroleum Engineering Undergrads
The PE Advising Manual
(pdf) is the best on-line resource for any questions regarding the Advising
Process, Curriculum Requirements, and Scholarship Renewal. Questions and
inquires not sufficiently answered by the advising manual should be directed
toward either an advisor or the department office.
