Petroleum Technology Transfer Council (PTTC)

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 02:00:00 GMT

The Petroleum Technology Transfer Council is a national nonprofit organization established in 1994 by producers, state organizations and the DOE to connect people and impact domestic production. PTTC distributes applied technology information via newsletters, websites, exhibitions, as well as participation in workshop and industry events. While emphasizing the needs of independent oil and gas producers, PTTC’s activities also benefit consultants, service and supply companies, and other industry participants. The connections achieved and technology information transferred through PTTC’s programs are reducing costs and increasing recovery in existing mature fields, expanding recovery from unconventional reservoirs, profitably developing ever-smaller domestic production and reserves, and increasing environmental stewardship.

HUNSTEM is a learning community that includes schools, informal science institutions, professional societies, and institutions of higher learning working together to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the greater Houston area. HUNSTEM brings a wealth of resources together through an interactive gateway that is extensive, user-friendly, and quality controlled via the integration of national, state, and local mathematics and science standards. HUNSTEM is unique in its approach because it concentrates on community, not just providing STEM curricula, and because it fosters collaboration between all facets of the learning community rather that just acting as a liaison. HUNSTEM helps students, teachers, administrators and families move freely between the far-flung resources of their schools, professional organizations, and informal science centers. HUNSTEM is a growing model for learning community development for the entire nation.

Science and Engineering Fair of Houston (SEFH)

Sat, 02 Sep 2006 19:00:00 GMT

The Science Engineering Fair of Houston (SEFH) provides a unique and beneficial science educational service to public and private junior and senior high school students. Through the development and presentation of science/engineering projects, students enhance their abilities to: (1) Make observations; (2) Ask questions regarding particular phenomena or situations; (3) Formulate ideas and procedures for the solution of a problem; (4) Use complex and/or analytical reasoning skills to find an answer or a solution to a problem, and (5) Effectively present their works to society. SEFH strongly believes that it is just as important for students to learn how to use mathematics and science as it is to learn the subject material in the classroom. Project based learning has been our top priority since 1960. At SEFH we stress understanding not memorization. The educational activities sponsored by SEFH complement the rapidly growing need for students to be able to understand and utilize new technology.
