Offshore oil and gas facilities
The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science has standing expertise in the main disciplines of engineering (mechanical, civil, naval architecture, and electrical and computer engineering) as well as three chemical engineering faculty members with expertise in oil/gas processing, environmental operations, health and safety, and risk assessment. In addition, three Canada Research Chairs have been appointed in the areas of Reservoir Engineering; Reliability Engineering and Offshore Environmental Management; and Asset Integrity Management. Together with existing faculty members who are experts in the areas of Geotechnical Engineering, Ice Mechanics Engineering, Safety and Risk Engineering, and Offshore Structures and Materials the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University offers you the best possible education and training you'll need to compete in this rapidly growing industry.
