The Petroleum Engineering Program at Texas A&M University at Qatar hosted the PETE Annual Senior Student Paper Contest, sponsored by ExxonMobil, where 24 undergraduate petroleum engineering students presented their research to a panel of judges composed of industry partners and alumni.

The contest serves as more than a competition. It provides students with a valuable platform to strengthen their technical writing and presentation skills, preparing them for success in their professional careers.

Congratulations to the seniors for an outstanding showcase of research and professionalism. First place was awarded to Jihad Bakrim, Saleh Almarri and Hala Shadid. Second place honors went to Saleh Al-Mohannadi, Mazen Bouhssas and Noor Al-Hamdaney.

Special gratitude to the industry judges for their time and valuable feedback, and to the faculty and staff whose efforts made the event possible.

80 days until TAMUQ Commencement 2026!

Years of late nights, teamwork and determination lead to one unforgettable walk across the stage.

Aggies will step forward as engineers, innovators and future leaders.

Ramadan Kareem!
