The purpose of this article is to report on the results of the SPE manpower survey conducted annually by the SPE Manpower Committee. This yearly survey asks educators from all the schools listed in SPE's Petroleum Engineering and Technology Schools book to tell how many petroleum engineering undergraduates they have, how many graduates they had last year, what their ability to get jobs were, and what they predict their graduates' ability to find jobs will be in the future. For those graduates reporting jobs, the sector of the industry in which the jobs were found is also reported. This year, 20 of the 50 schools we solicited returned the surveys. Exactly half of the surveys went to U.S. schools; 12 of those were returned. In addition, one of five schools listing petroleum engineering options returned the survey. Other sources of information were used whenever possible to fill information gaps. SPE's annual Petroleum Engineering and Technology Schools directory, based on surveys conducted by the Education and Accreditation Committee, is the best source of annual information on the size of the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes.
