Not all donations to the Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering involve recognized monitary contributions.
Software donations play a vital role in the ability of our students to experience hands-on training using applications tailored to the oil and gas industry. These educational software grants, or educational licensing agreements, can benefit the donating company by promoting their software within our classrooms. In return, our students graduate with needed computer skills.
