Fundraising Goals - Industrial Advisory Board - Department of Petroleum 工程

The Petroleum 工程 行业咨询委员会 supports programs and initiatives to raise funds for the Petroleum 工程 Department. The current goals listed by priority are outlined below:

1. 教师 Salary Supplement Endowments – Private money directed to endowment funds are essential sources for faculty salary supplements, both for retention of existing faculty and for hiring of new faculty members. 校友 are encouraged to direct gifts to the endowment funds and companies are encouraged to contribute to endowments and consider funding “Endowed Chairs” among the faculty. 目前的目标是500万美元.
2. 学生奖学金 – As industry demand continues to grow for hiring Petroleum Engineers and as student enrollment numbers continue to increase, so too does the need to attract and support high quality students through scholarships. 校友 and companies are encouraged to establish scholarship accounts and contribute regularly to scholarship funds. 目前的目标是25万美元.
3. 研究经费 – In support of faculty and graduate student research projects, selected companies are encouraged to award grants and fellowships to fund applied research work. 目前的目标是10万美元.
4. 实验室设备 – Replacement and addition of lab equipment is necessary for both undergraduate and graduate training and research. 校友 and companies are encouraged to contribute to specific equipment purchases or to general lab support. 目前的目标是10万美元.
