3 credit hours core petroleum engineering minor course covering drilling systems; drilling fluids, drilling hydraulics, cuttings transport, drill bits, oilfield pipe, cements, and cementing operations, perforating, acidizing, hydraulic fracturing, and oilfield tools. 

1 credit hour core graduate petroleum engineering course. The seminar course exposes petroleum engineering graduate students and members of the OSU academic community to a broad range of current research topics in petroleum engineering and related fields. 

2 credit hours undergraduate core engineering course for the system engineering degree. The course covers the introduction to the engineering profession and disciplines; drawing and design using CAD tools; engineering ethics and professional responsibilities; development of skills in problem solving, analysis, estimation, design, and teamwork; computational analysis; and computer programming applications. 

2 credit hours undergraduate core engineering course for the system engineering degree. The course addresses orthographical and isometric drawings, tolerance, working drawings, three dimensional pictorials, primary and successive auxiliary view and vector graphics. Computer aided design software is used for drawing and development of systems in mechanical, electrical and welding applications. 

1 credit hour undergraduate core engineering laboratory for the system engineering degree. The laboratory covered a variety of forces in equilibrium, frictional forces, gear systems, and relative velocity.  

3 credit hours undergraduate core engineering course for the system engineering degree. The course covers theory and applications of energy methods in engineering; conservation principles to investigate "traditional" thermodynamics and internal flow fluids; material properties. 

3 credit hours undergraduate petroleum engineering course. It covers an introduction to petroleum drilling systems, including fundamental petroleum engineering concepts, quantities and unit systems, drilling rig components, drilling fluids, pressure loss calculations, casing, well cementing, and directional drilling. 

 3 credit hours undergraduate core system engineering course. This course is the first in the senior design sequence. It will cover principles of project management; planning, scheduling, and control; engineering proposals; and technical reports. Students prepare proposals, including specifications, timelines, schedule, and budget, for projects to be implemented in SENG 4390. 

3 credit hours undergraduate core system engineering course. This course is the second and final course in the senior design sequence. This course provides students with the experience of implementing (including building, testing, and documenting) the approved project in SENG 4301, within budget, and on schedule. It requires the integration of knowledge from required systems engineering courses. Course requirements include a written report and oral presentation.
