POLICY & MANAGEMENT

Upstream involves exploration and production. This includes geologists and geophysicists, who determine where resources can be found, as well as the ideal topographical locations for establishing drills and other methods of enhancing production. The engineering and technology areas of petroleum, mechanical power and construction are involved in exploration and production.

Midstream involves bringing oil and gas to the distributor and the conversion and storage of these natural resources. This includes the construction, maintenance and operation of pipelines, railcars, barges and ships, and other modes of transporting energy resources. Transporting oil and gas also involves geopolitics, for those interested in policy and law, and various technologies. Refining crude oil and processing natural gas, production of value added materials and consumer products and marketing occupy the downstream sector of the energy industry.

Is the energy demand of the world sustainable? As consumers look for more options to power their lives, innovative thinkers, researchers and inventors will be at the leading edge of the ever-changing energy industry. Various types of engineering, from chemical to industrial, will have a role in the future. At UH, we believe that the world’s energy demand and environmental stewardship go hand-in-hand. We exemplify this through our popular undergraduate minor in Energy and Sustainability and the globally recognized Energy, Environment and Natural Resource Law program in the UH Law Center. One of the most significant short-term gains in energy productivity is likely to arise from energy efficiency and reduction of transmission losses. UH has programs in sustainable, innovative and new architecture, electric grid cyber security, environmental engineering, power engineering, power technology and superconductivity.

Public policy, regulatory, financial, business, policy and management issues are central to the implementation of energy programs. To address this, UH offers programs on energy management, energy finance, public policy, energy law and industrial psychology. Noteworthy are the Gutierrez Energy Management Institute (GEMI), and the Upstream Energy Safety Certification Program that have a global focus. One of our newest programs in this area is the graduate certificate program in Global Energy, Development and Sustainability.

GEOSENSING SYSTEMS ENGINEERINGMS, PHD

OUTLINE REQUIREMENTS FOR A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN GEOSENSING SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

Geosensing Systems Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering under the Cullen College of Engineering is an interdisciplinary program focusing on the use of airborne mapping to meet the needs of private industry, government agencies and academic institutions. Graduate students will be trained to use a tool called LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, in which researchers fly a plane over an area they want to map, shooting hundreds of thousands of laser bursts per second at the ground. How that light returns to its source can be used to create extremely detailed topographical maps, even through dense vegetation and murky water. The maps produced from UH LiDAR data have supported hundreds of research projects for both private and government agencies. These maps have helped to locate ancient ruins in the Honduran rainforest, identified levees in danger of failing, charted land erosion following hurricanes, created flood maps for urban areas, found near-drought conditions in seemingly healthy plants, mapped the sea floor, charted areas prone to landslides and helped identify how the presence of life impacts geographical features.

Completion of a Master of Science with thesis requires that each student perform original research advised by one of the core faculty of the Geosensing Systems Engineering and Sciences program, who will serve as Chair of the thesis defense committee. Ordinarily, the Thesis Committee Chair will arrange financial support for the student and the research. A thesis master’s degree requires two years (or more) of full time effort to complete the course work, plan and perform the research and write and defend the thesis.

The thesis M.S. degree requires 15 credit hours of structured academic course work, three hours of research, six hours of electives (course work and or research), and six credit hours of thesis (CIVE 6399 and CIVE 7399), plus enrollment in seminar at least once. Full-time M. S. students receiving financial support must register for 12 credit hours each fall and spring semester, and six hours each summer semester.

Full-time students may substitute CIVE 6X98 for academic course work in any semester. Enrollment in CIVE 6X98 requires a faculty research advisor who will assign a grade - “S” for Satisfactory or “U” for Unsatisfactory. Leveling and prerequisite courses are not counted in the above 12- or 6-hr requirements (see non-engineers for more information).

The Master of Science non-thesis degree requires that the student take 30 credit hours of course work. Non-thesis students are self-supporting and usually attend classes part time. Taking 2 classes per long semester and 1 class each summer semester, a student can complete the non-thesis master’s degree in 2 years. Students are required to take the seminar class CIVE 6111 one semester as part of the non-thesis degree. CIVE 6111 seminar hours are not counted in the 30-hour requirement.

Only two courses (6 credit hours) below the 6000 level may be applied to the M.S. degree. These courses must be approved by the Director and the Associate Dean by means of a Graduate General Petition. Students need to obtain approval from the Program Academic Advisor or Program Director before enrolling in non-graduate courses for which graduate credit is anticipated.

PHYSICSBS, BA, MS, PHD | UHin4

At the Department of Physics under the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, students can pursue a degree in Physics where they attempt to understand natural laws using in-depth analysis of simple systems. Studying Physics requires insight about those features of a problem that are most significant and possession of the experimental, analytical or numerical skills to solve these problems. Students considering majoring in physics should have strong mathematics backgrounds. Those who have a natural curiosity for investigating how things work would enjoy physics as a major. Potential Physics majors should also have an interest in other natural sciences such as chemistry. Physics has strong connections to energy-related fields through work in seismic physics, solar energy and superconductivity.
