hey sifus, i've tried to search around, but i think dis may be d best place to ask.

i'm currently in my final year as an aerospace engineering student and i'm very interested in joining the oil n gas industries seeing as how my seniors n fellow family friends have "lured" me. They say it's d most monetarily rewarding with great benefits. I'm not lying when i say dat money is my main motivation right now.

So my question is, am i qualified to apply for a job in this industry? My cgpa is a tad short of 3.5 Here are the list of subjects i took as an undergrad. Perhaps it can help shed some light.

ENGINEERING LAB 1 
COMPUTING SYSTEMS & PROGRAMMING 
ELECTRIC CIRCUITS 
INTRODUCTORY ECONOMICS FOR ENGINEERING
STATICS 
ENGINEERING DRAWING
ENGINEERING CALCULUS I
OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING FOR ENGINEERS
ENGINEERING CALCULUS II 
ENGINEERING LAB II 
ELECTRONIC LAB
ELECTRONICS
DYNAMICS
COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING
WORKSHOP TECHNOLOGY       
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING LAB 1   
THERMAL SCIENCES 
FLUID MECHANICS
ENGINEERING MATERIALS 
DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND LINEAR ALGEBRA 
PRINCIPLES OF FLIGHT 
RIGID BODY DYNAMICS 
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING LAB 
MECHANICS OF MATERIALS 
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES 
COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND STATISTICS 
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING LAB II 
AERODYNAMICS I
AIRCRAFTS STRUCTURES I 
SPACE MECHANICS
CONTROL SYSTEMS   
COMPLEX ANALYSIS AND PART. DIFF. EQUATION
AERODYNAMICS II 
AIRCRAFTS STRUCTURES II 
FLIGHT DYNAMICS AND CONTROL 
GAS DYNAMICS
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING LAB 
EXPERIMENTAL AERODYNAMICS 
DECISION SCIENCE
AIRCRAFT DESIGN   
AEROSPACE PROPULSION 
INSTRUMENTATION AND AVIONICS 
COMPOSITE STRUCTURES 
NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF STRUCTURES
MACHINE DESIGN
AIRCRAFT DESIGN LABORATORY 
SPACECRAFT DYNAMICS AND CONTROL   
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING LAB

I'd also like to know how can i apply the knowledge from my course in the oil and gas industry? When we graduate, we'll be granted bachelors of mechanical(aerospace) engineering.

Hope u guys can help me out. Sorry if i dont provide enough info. THANK YOU!

Thermal science is the only related here (gas dynamics maybe related). In O&G industry, piping knowledge is added an advantage. Obviously you will start from zero. Be patient and learn slowly while dont put pressure on yourself. If you get O&G job, You will have to read a lot of books about piping while you will regret that why you do not take engineering mechanical (pure without specific field) or petroleum engineering. Obviously other subjects you listed above just wasted of time. Since your CGPA is high, you will get the interview. But to believe, O&G is very hard for you unless the company will send you to training. If it is on job training, I believe you will resign in 1 month or less. rclxub.gif
