PETROGEO 4016 - Professional Skills for Energy Geoscience

This course is the first in the program dedicated to student research project work. It captures the nominal six week student internship work placement with an industry operator during which students become immersed in beginning their project work with their industry exploration team. The industry internship will begin in May and will last until mid-June. Students will be managed locally by their industry supervisors but they will also be required to attend weekly meetings with their academic supervisors, during which they will give presentations summarising: their activities and findings over the previous week; their project progress overall; upcoming challenges and their plan for the week ahead. These presentations will constitute minor assessment activities. On completing the formal internship period, students will give a summary presentation detailing their work placement experience and documenting progress in their research work to their program peers and academic supervision team. This summary presentation constitutes the major assessment component.
