apegga's investment in the future
The Geoscience Professional Development Centre
The Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA) has contributed $30,000 to the Geoscience Professional Development Centre (GPDC) at the University of Calgary. The centre meets the post-degree training needs of petroleum industry professionals by providing quality, low-cost courses in a broad array of cross-disciplinary geoscience topics in petroleum exploration, reservoir characterization and exploitation. Courses offered by the GPDC provide up-to-date knowledge of geoscience sub-disciplines and upgrade learners’ abilities to efficiently use integrated interpretative software.
The Centre’s computer teaching laboratory is equipped with 20 dual-monitor, high-end personal computers (PCs) and required peripherals.
