Located in the energy capital of the world, the University of Houston is a natural hub for innovation and bold approaches to address the world's energy challenges today and in the future.
UH Energy is a constellation of the brightest minds in UH engineering, law, business, geosciences, technology and research, all focused on one goal — energy innovation to power our lives and preserve precious resources.
UH Energy team members shape energy policy and forge new business approaches to the way energy is created, delivered, used and shared.
And they educate the innovators of tomorrow — providing a dynamic environment for students and faculty to exchange ideas and work in partnership with industry, researchers, organizations and the community.
UH students foster economic prosperity, ensure global security and work to protect the planet and its inhabitants before they even enter the work force. Together, UH faculty and students influence, invent and innovate, and they are leading the Houston energy industry to a better, brighter and greener future.
One of only a few programs in the US, the undergraduate petroleum engineering program at the University of Houston has received support from industry and has worked with companies to provide students with internships through their college career. The program, which began in fall 2009, was developed in response to the industry’s need for more engineers. For more information on the University of Houston’s program, watch the Drilling Contractor video.
University of Houston President Renu Khator talks about UH Energy on “The EnergyMakers,” a weekly video podcast/broadcast show hosted by Paul Dickerson that features energy industry leaders and innovators. Khator discussed various initiatives at the UH Energy Research Park, where the University is building a cluster of educational programs, research projects and business partnerships.
