The model of “learn at school and do at work” is outdated and must keep up with the changing environment of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Petroleum engineering curricula, therefore, must also change accordingly. It is time to examine the core curricula being taught at petroleum schools so that long-term sustainability can be established. -
