The Department of Energy and Petroleum Engineering continually strives to explore the research frontier. Our faculty have very high research activity, meaning students can contribute to groundbreaking discoveries alongside world-class researchers and scholars.

Research Specialities

Research Facilities

Each classroom, learning space and resource is designed to promote interdisciplinary collaboration between students, departments and even other programs across campus. Without this important process, we wouldn’t be able to educate future engineers who will go on to solve the most important challenges that matter to Wyoming and the world.

Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate research plays a pivotal role in fostering intellectual growth and preparing students for successful careers. Engaging in research at the undergraduate level offers students the chance to cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of their chosen field. Just as in graduate research, undergraduates have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to their disciplines through innovative ideas and fresh perspectives. Undergraduate research serves as a stepping stone towards graduate studies while simultaneously equipping students with a robust foundation for future success.
