LAUNCH YOUR EDUCATION. FUEL YOUR CAREER.
UH offers several innovative educational programs at all levels and in the four major
energy sectors: upstream; midstream and downstream; alternatives and enablers;
and policy and management. UH also offers continuing professional studies, as well
as certificate programs that may be completed either in conjunction with a graduate
level degree or as a stand-alone.
For more information on individual programs, visit the corresponding departmental
websites indicated on each page.
99
UPSTREAM
Upstream involves exploration and production. This includes geologists and geophysicists, who determine where
resources can be found, as well as the ideal topographical locations for establishing drills and other methods of
enhancing production. The engineering and technology areas of petroleum, mechanical power and construction are
involved in exploration and production.
MIDSTREAM & DOWNSTREAM
Midstream involves bringing oil and gas to the distributor and the conversion and storage of these natural resources.
This includes the construction, maintenance and operation of pipelines, railcars, barges and ships, and other modes
of transporting energy resources. Transporting oil and gas also involves geopolitics, for those interested in policy and
law, and various technologies. Refining crude oil and processing natural gas, production of value added materials and
consumer products and marketing occupy the downstream sector of the energy industry.
ALTERNATIVES & ENABLERS
Is the energy demand of the world sustainable? As consumers look for more options to power their lives, innovative
thinkers, researchers and inventors will be at the leading edge of the ever-changing energy industry. Various types
of engineering, from chemical to industrial, will have a role in the future. At UH, we believe that the world’s energy
demand and environmental stewardship go hand-in-hand. We exemplify this through our popular undergraduate minor
in Energy and Sustainability and the globally recognized Energy, Environment and Natural Resource Law program in
the UH Law Center. One of the most significant short-term gains in energy productivity is likely to arise from energy
efficiency and reduction of transmission losses. UH has programs in sustainable, innovative and new architecture,
electric grid cyber security, environmental engineering, power engineering, power technology and superconductivity.
POLICY & MANAGEMENT
Public policy, regulatory, financial, business, policy and management issues are central to the implementation of energy
programs. To address this, UH offers programs on energy management, energy finance, public policy, energy law and
industrial psychology. Noteworthy are the Gutierrez Energy Management Institute (GEMI), and the Upstream Energy
Safety Certification Program that have a global focus. One of our newest programs in this area is the graduate certificate
program in Global Energy, Development and Sustainability.

ECONOMICS OF THE ENERGY
VALUE CHAIN CERTFICATE
The Economics of the Energy Value Chain Certificate under the Bauer College of Business exposes students
to both the ‘physical’ side of the energy business, i.e. what is the nature of the assets, operations and products
produced, and to the economics of each component of the EVC. Students will be able to gain an understanding
of how the energy firms’ activities ‘add value’ along the chain, e.g. how basic refinery units upgrade crude
oil and how more complex conversion and chemical units upgrade basic products into higher value fuels or
chemicals. The role of transportation logistics and trading will also be considered.
OUTLINE REQUIREMENTS
You must be a current Bauer graduate student (MBA or MS) to earn the graduate certificate in Ecomonics of
the Energy Value Chain.
CURRICULUM (MUST CHOOSE 9 CREDIT HOURS)
Courses or new sections of courses may be added, discontinued or changed after the Course Listing for a
particular semester is first made available. Additional information about new courses is available from the
departments offering them. Not all courses listed below are available in both the Fall and Spring semesters.

certificate component to an MBA?
Completion of a certificate program demonstrates mastery of a particular subject area and provides a credential
that professionals can use to accelerate their careers. The structure and pricing of the certificate programs gives
the Bauer College added flexibility in staffing and scheduling over a conventional program. This results in a worldclass educational experience that reflects the demands of both industry and our students.

ENERGY INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
CERTIFICATE
Students interested in developing superior insight into the economics of energy industry capital projects should
consider obtaining the Energy Investment Analysis (EIA) Certificate under the Bauer College of Business. All
courses assume a basic familiarity with the standard NPV/IRR methodology. EIA focuses on special analytical
challenges characteristic of the energy industry. These include the tendency for energy projects to contain various
embedded options, the capacity of many projects to support substantial amounts of project debt, the fact that
energy projects typically are conceived within broader competitive strategies and the reality that many such
projects are exposed to varied, severe political risks. EIA will expose students to specific analytical frameworks
and strategies that address these challenges, such as: Real options, Competitive Strategy, Project Finance with
Leveraged Economics, and market-based techniques to measure and adjust for political risk.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
MSEE, PHD
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) under the Cullen College of Engineering
has established a tradition of preparing successful engineers who have made important contributions to
the development of civil infrastructure and the constructed environment. Among the most critical issues,
environmental engineers are responding for infrastructure preservation, climate change, environmental
quality, energy and natural resources protection, natural hazard mitigation and the sustainable functioning
of engineered and natural systems. The program and its faculty are internationally known for their research
and teaching in water, wastewater, microbiology, bioremediation, soil and hazardous waste treatment and
modeling, and airborne particulates.
OUTLINE REQUIREMENTS FOR A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Completion of a Masters of Science with thesis requires that each student perform original research advised
by one of the core faculty of the Environmental Engineering program. Ordinarily, the Thesis Committee Chair
(assigned upon admission) will arrange financial support for the student and the research. A thesis Master’s
degree requires two years (or more) of full time effort to complete course work, plan and perform research, and
write and defend the thesis.
The thesis Master of Science degree requires 24 credit hours of academic course work, six credit hours of
thesis (CIVE 6399 and CIVE 7399), plus enrollment in seminar at least twice. Full-time M. S. students receiving
financial support must register for 12 credit hours each fall and spring semester, and six hours each summer
semester. Full-time students may substitute CIVE 6X98 (X Credit Hours of Research) for academic course
work in any semester.
The Masters of Science non-thesis degree requires that the student take 30 credit hours of course work. Nonthesis students are self-supporting and usually attend classes part time. Taking two classes per semester and
one class each summer semester, a student can complete the non-thesis masters degree in two years. Students
are required to take the seminar class CIVE 6111 two semesters as part of the non-thesis degree. CIVE 6111
seminar hours are not counted in the 30-hour requirement.
Only two courses (6-credit hours) below the 6000 level may be applied to the M.S. degree. These courses must
be approved by the Director and the Associate Dean by means of a Graduate General Petition. Students need
to obtain approval from the Program Academic Advisor or Program Director before enrolling in non-graduate
courses for which graduate credit is anticipated.

GEOPHYSICS
BS, MS, PHD | UHin4
Housed in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences under the College of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics, Geophysics studies physical methods and principles used to understand Earth’s formation and
dynamics. Geophysicists study geological occurrences, the Earth’s interior temperature distribution, the origin
of the magnetic field and large-scale crustal features, such as fracture, continental and oceanic ridges. A few
popular branches of study include seismology, meteorology, hydrology and physical oceanography. Major
applications of geophysics are in oil, gas and mineral explorations. Geophysical applications are also found in

GEOSENSING SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
MS, PHD
Geosensing Systems Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering under the Cullen
College of Engineering is an interdisciplinary program focusing on the use of airborne mapping to meet the
needs of private industry, government agencies and academic institutions. Graduate students will be trained
to use a tool called LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, in which researchers fly a plane over an area they
want to map, shooting hundreds of thousands of laser bursts per second at the ground. How that light returns
to its source can be used to create extremely detailed topographical maps, even through dense vegetation and
murky water. The maps produced from UH LiDAR data have supported hundreds of research projects for both
private and government agencies. These maps have helped to locate ancient ruins in the Honduran rainforest,
identified levees in danger of failing, charted land erosion following hurricanes, created flood maps for urban
areas, found near-drought conditions in seemingly healthy plants, mapped the sea floor, charted areas prone to
landslides and helped identify how the presence of life impacts geographical features.
OUTLINE REQUIREMENTS FOR A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN GEOSENSING SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
Completion of a Master of Science with thesis requires that each student perform original research advised by
one of the core faculty of the Geosensing Systems Engineering and Sciences program, who will serve as Chair
of the thesis defense committee. Ordinarily, the Thesis Committee Chair will arrange financial support for the
student and the research. A thesis master’s degree requires two years (or more) of full time effort to complete
the course work, plan and perform the research and write and defend the thesis.
The thesis M.S. degree requires 15 credit hours of structured academic course work, three hours of research,
six hours of electives (course work and or research), and six credit hours of thesis (CIVE 6399 and CIVE 7399),
plus enrollment in seminar at least once. Full-time M. S. students receiving financial support must register for
12 credit hours each fall and spring semester, and six hours each summer semester.
Full-time students may substitute CIVE 6X98 for academic course work in any semester. Enrollment in CIVE
6X98 requires a faculty research advisor who will assign a grade - “S” for Satisfactory or “U” for Unsatisfactory.
Leveling and prerequisite courses are not counted in the above 12- or 6-hr requirements (see non-engineers
for more information).
The Master of Science non-thesis degree requires that the student take 30 credit hours of course work. Nonthesis students are self-supporting and usually attend classes part time. Taking 2 classes per long semester
and 1 class each summer semester, a student can complete the non-thesis master’s degree in 2 years. Students
are required to take the seminar class CIVE 6111 one semester as part of the non-thesis degree. CIVE 6111
seminar hours are not counted in the 30-hour requirement.
Only two courses (6 credit hours) below the 6000 level may be applied to the M.S. degree. These courses must
be approved by the Director and the Associate Dean by means of a Graduate General Petition. Students need
to obtain approval from the Program Academic Advisor or Program Director before enrolling in non-graduate
courses for which graduate credit is anticipated.
