History of Academy of Petroleum Engineers

- To encourage and inspire the Petroleum Engineering program and students to achieve success in their selected fields of endeavor.
- To assist and support the Bob L. Herd Department of Petroleum Engineering in its efforts to seek and develop excellence in its programs.
