On 15 February 2026, the Petroleum and Mining Engineering Department at Tishk International University organized an industrial lecture as part of its annual academic–industry engagement program. The lecture formed part of the Petroleum Drilling Engineering II course and aimed to strengthen the connection between classroom learning and real industry practice.
This industrial lecture at TIU focused on mud rheological properties, a core topic within drilling fluid engineering. The department invited Senior Engineer Mr. Arya Falah from Pulsar Petroleum, an experienced drilling fluids company, to deliver the session. His participation ensured that students received direct insight from a field specialist actively working in the oil and gas sector.
During the lecture, Mr. Falah explained the practical importance of rheological properties in drilling operations. He connected theoretical concepts from the syllabus to real drilling scenarios and field challenges. As a result, students gained a clearer understanding of how drilling fluid behavior affects well performance and operational efficiency.
Moreover, students actively engaged in discussions and asked practical questions related to industry applications. The presence of an experienced industry engineer created a dynamic learning environment and enhanced student motivation. Therefore, the session successfully demonstrated how academic content aligns with real-world petroleum engineering practices.
This activity also forms part of the Industrial Committee initiatives within the Faculty of Engineering. Through such activities, the department continuously integrates industry expertise into its curriculum and reinforces its commitment to applied, practice-oriented education.
