Pte 403: Project methods and proposal      2Units        

 Oil field methods, data gathering, sampling methods, data preparation and classification, data presentation, spread sheets calculation and analysis of data, project proposal methods, referencing methods, software’s practices, project methods, project report structure, project writing formats, project proposal preparation and presentation

Pte 406: Graduation Project                     4 Units

The students of fourth year are divided into groups supervised by one or more of staff members; each group has to prepare and present a complete study on one of the oil subjects suggested and approved by the department research counsol. The study should be either a laboratory study, field study, or theoretical study using the available data and means from Libyan fields or any others. The project aims to enable the student to depend on himself in doing investigation and tackling problems, through data surveying, searching, gathering, analysis, drawing conclusion. Finally the student has to present this report and discuss it in front of committee composed from department teaching staff member.
