At the University of Houston Cullen College of Engineering, the Petroleum Engineering Department offers state-of-the-art research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. The University of Houston is home to some of the world’s most advanced energy research and houses a 74-acre campus, called the Technology Bridge, dedicated to bringing industry and academia together to conduct energy research in clean engines and fuels, wind energy, superconductivity and petroleum engineering. All undergraduate and graduate students in engineering are strongly encouraged to get hands-on research experience in one of the many faculty research groups, labs or centers on campus while they are pursuing their degrees.
