American Association Of Drilling Engineers Penn State Student Chapter - Company Information

The american association of drilling engineers (aade) brings professional experiences within the energy industry to students. we successfully achieve this through three main avenues. first, we have week day technical discussions in which an employee of an energy company comes to give a short lecture on new technology within the field or on the specific processes of their company. next, we have a weekend long technical elective courses, during which a professional comes to teach a skill that is necessary for students to have in the energy industry. finally we attend facility tours and conferences in order to give our members direct exposure to work sites and hundreds of professionals that they are able to ask questions and learn from. in addition to these main functions of the organization we also have several subset organizations within aade that help students gain additional professional or community development. freshman petroleum learning program is a program started 2 years ago, in which upperclassmen of the petroleum and natural gas engineering major teach freshmen the basic conceptual knowledge of the energy industry, making it easier for them to connect their engineering courses with real world problems. drillbowl is a 5 person team that we send yearly to a trivia based competition with other colleges across the country, where we are the 3rd place reigning champions. aade honorary academic society was created to award the most devoted members with a way to showcase their membership to aade as above the average aade member. aade outreach partners with centre county paws in order to promote our members being able to benefit the community by volunteering, donating, and becoming a foster home to kittens to help this local humane society . aade drillbotics is a society of petroleum engineer competition to see which college is able to build the best drilling rig simulation using new technology that we attend.
