The program aims at giving the students the knowledge and technological skills that prepare them to:

1.     Function effectively as technicians in the exploration and development field of petroleum engineering technology, (dismantle, assemble, specify, install, operate, test, troubleshoot, and maintain drilling and exploration equipment/systems),

2.     Solve problems related to the workplace through application of their technical capabilities in exploration and development engineering technology,

3.     Communicate clearly and effectively orally and in writing,

4.     Demonstrate professional and ethical behavior, and

5.     Continue their professional advancement through life-long learning opportunities and in-service training.
