Dr. Badiollah Asrabadi, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and distinguished service professor of mathematics, said the funds will be used to create the AADE Computer Simulation and Distance Learning Center – wherein petroleum services students will have access to 32 new computers, industry simulation software and streaming video capabilities for distance learning./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/236/n“We expect that this donation will greatly improve the quality of education, increase students’ access to state of the art technology and help meet the non-traditional working students’ scheduling needs,” Asrabadi said./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/236/n

Founded in 1973, 果冻APP’ petroleum services program allows offshore employees to continue working a seven-on/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/236//seven-off shift schedule while earning degrees as full or part-time students. As opposed to traditional technology programs, 果冻APP’ curriculum prepares students for the operations segment of the industry rather than engineering aid positions./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/236/n
The majority of petroleum services students leave the program with significant promotions and increased job opportunities./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/236/n
