In an effort to build technical skills and sustainable petroleum capabilities in the country, Anadarko and Mozambican
government leaders agreed in 2012 to develop a Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering (MSPE). This 3-year
effort at the University of Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) in Maputo will culminate in 2016 when the first group of
Mozambican MSPE students graduate from the rigorous petroleum engineering program.

The Core Program is a one-year introductory program that presents foundational petroleum engineering concepts to
students prior to the start of the more rigorous Master’s Program. The Core Program is a recommended pre-requisite
to the Master’s Program.
Students who complete the Core Program or demonstrate appropriate industry experience can apply for the two-year
Petroleum Engineering Master’s Program. The Master’s Program is comprised of eight distinct courses, technical and
research seminars, and a research dissertation project.
The Dissertation consists of original research on a topic chosen by the students and their advisors. Topics are focused
on their value to Mozambique exploration, drilling, production, facilities, and oil and natural gas industry infrastructure.
In addition to the Core and Master’s curriculum, other skill-building opportunities are provided. A math practice course
is offered to refresh student’s analytical and computational math skills. Additionally, an English-language program was
initiated, and an academic writing class is available for dissertation students to improve English technical writing skills.
Program Overviewg
It is very important at this critical time in Mozambique’s development for all
stakeholders to work together to build Mozambique’s capacity, to manage the
substantial challenges it faces in the coming years, and to ensure the
tremendous natural resource wealth this country possesses benefits all its
citizens. The launch of the UEM Postgraduate Program in Petroleum Engineering
is a significant opportunity to contribute to this capacity building effort.

The dissertation system is a comprehensive approach for research and academic report writing. It requires the utilization
of five interrelated components for the system to work most efficiently and effectively. These components work together
to create an integrated system that supports the dissertation process and the student throughout the program.
Process Guide – Documentation of all activities necessary to complete a UEM petroleum engineering dissertation.
Administration – Management of the schedule of actions to be completed each semester.
Supervision – Advisory meetings for information sharing and research guidance.
Student Skills – Development of necessary skills including time management, research skills, academic writing and revising, proofreading and editing.
Tools – Tools and templates for managing, organizing, tracking and writing the dissertation.

Phase One – Professors teach some content and co-develop course material with guidance from U.S.-based professors.
Phase Two – Professors teach additional content and co-advise dissertations; they begin participation in intensive learning events at the U.S.-based professor’s university.
Phase Three – Professors teach all content and advise students through the dissertation process; they analyze and expand on the information through course material revisions.
Professor Development
Drilling and Completions Systems instructor, Dr. Rui Sitoe,
experienced learning events with Texas Tech University
petroleum engineering professor, Dr. Lloyd Heinze. Dr. Sitoe
visited Chevron’s equipment training facility and viewed
drilling rigs at the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum
(pictured at left) in Midland, Texas. These site visits
helped Dr. Sitoe enhance his understanding of the drilling
course concepts.
UEM petroleum engineering professors are also provided with learning opportunities to enhance understanding of the
petroleum industry. These opportunities include one-on-one learning sessions with U.S.-based professors on subject content;
observation of U.S. dissertation defenses; visits to industry sites, such as Schlumberger’s test facility in Rosharon, Texas, and
the Halliburton Technical Center; attendance at the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) annual technical conference; and,
museum visits such as the Ocean Star Drilling Museum in Galveston to provide the context of the course content to industry.
The capability building of UEM petroleum engineering professors is essential to supporting long-term program
sustainability and vital to producing skilled and employable master’s students.
Professor Development is a three-phase approach focused on deepening content knowledge and experience in the classroom:

Instructional Designers
Course development is achieved through collaboration with Anadarko subject-matter experts, U.S.-based and UEM
professors and instructional designers.
Using this approach, industry representatives and U.S.-based petroleum engineering professors provide technical
material, which is then structured into course content by an instructional designer. Finally, the course content is
reviewed by a UEM professor for local relevance.
This course development method creates repeatable learning experiences and enhances UEM professor understanding
of petroleum engineering topics. The engagement of the UEM professor during development is essential to building a
sustainable curriculum.
Course Development
Instructional designers structure objectives, review content for clarity and help
ensure consistency and ease of use.
UEM professorsreview materials to ensure
“fit for purpose” for Mozambique and within the
university environment.
U.S. petroleum engineering professors and Anadarko expertsrecommend texts, provide technical expertise, ensure content accuracy and provide practical applications.

The majority of students entering the MSPE program have
acquired technical backgrounds in engineering, geology or
natural science; therefore, the students possess many of
the fundamentals required for a master’s degree. Through
a combination of coursework, research, industry support
and Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) involvement,
and graduate advising, these technical students develop
into capable and employable petroleum engineers.

Continuum of Support
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
A student chapter of the SPE was established at the
University of Eduardo Mondlane in 2014. The creation of
the SPE chapter represents a milestone for the Petroleum
Engineering students. The association with this
international organization provides significant support for
student learning experiences.
Long-term sustainability has been the primary focus throughout the development of the MSPE at UEM. Therefore,
fundamental elements which support the viability and future growth of the program are embedded into the
foundation of the Master’s Program. These include committed UEM leadership, dedicated faculty, capable students,
“fit for purpose” curriculum and reliable technical infrastructure.
As the program transitions to UEM, focus on these sustainability elements will be vital to the success of the program.
Although establishment of the MSPE program was part of the corporate responsibility goals set forth by Anadarko and
the participants in Area 1, the program requires long-term support to ensure industry relevance and program growth.
Dedicated partners are necessary to advise, promote and actively support UEM in providing premier petroleum
education and contributing meaningfully to the industry of Mozambique and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Long-term support includes:
• Providing advice and expertise regarding the curriculum and research activities of the MSPE and other UEM petroleum programs
• Providing assistance in developing and strengthening UEM petroleum engineering’s resources – financial, human and infrastructure
• Facilitating industry integration and encouraging communication between the program and industry (operators, oil field service companies, etc.)
Industry commitment to UEM petroleum programs is essential to maximizing the capabilities of graduates. Through
partnership with UEM, petroleum companies can best utilize the programs to develop industry knowledge and to
establish a pipeline of talent for the industry for many years to come.
