08.05.09 - SPE Stavanger has this week donated 60 books and 2 instructor kits to the University of Stavanger, 30 books and an instructor kit each for the international school of Stavanger and the British school of Stavanger.
- The English book offers a presentation of the oil in
a historical perspective, says the leader of SPE Stavanger,
Jan Roar Drechsler. SPE focuses on increasing the number
of educated engineers, as opposed to the falling trend we
see today. The book Energy4me is one attempt to inspire
potential future engineers and is directed towards students at all levels, including university students.
SPE has more than 80 000 members worldwide, 1200 members
in the Stavanger area, which includes 300 students.
-This book is meant as a basis for understanding what an
engineer does in today's society, Drechsler says. Most of
us have good knowledge about the technicals sides of the
oil and gas industry, but few have detailed knowledge about
the history of the industry.
-We know that 50 percent of today's engineers will be retired
within 15 years. There will be a great need for engineers in
the years to come, Drechsler says.
