LARAMIE, WYOMING - Two years after being reinstated, the University of Wyoming undergraduate degree program in petroleum engineering will graduate 12 students this spring.

The students are scheduled to receive their bachelor of science degrees on Saturday. H. Gordon Harris heads the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Science. He says all the graduates have been offered jobs in the oil and gas industry.

In 1997, the university eliminated the undergraduate degree because of lack of interest. But the booming oil and gas industry persuaded the university to revive the program. Sixty-six students were enrolled in petroleum engineering at UW this spring.
