Joel C. Johnson of Austin, TX is a managing member of Mineral Asset Development Petroleum. As a professional in the oil and gas industry, Joel C. Johnson has found membership in the Society of Petroleum Engineers to be beneficial. The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) has sections located around the world, including in Austin, TX. These sections provide a variety of networking opportunities, industry information and education, as well as community outreach.
Energy4me, an educational branch of the SPE, provides helpful resources to sections across the nation that enable them to facilitate training opportunities. Members of SPE are encouraged to participate in these educational endeavors in order to promote conservation and educate the public about the future of the oil and gas industry.
Regional sections of SPE are encouraged to donate educational materials to schools. One such resource is an Energy4me kit, containing lesson plans for all ages, teaching tools, classroom activities, hands-on experiments, as well as information regarding careers in petroleum engineering. Section members are also encouraged to utilize Energy4me resources to give classroom presentations to pre-university students. These presentations provide facts that help inspire the best and the brightest to pursue careers in the energy sector.
At SPE conferences, teachers are invited to free professional-development workshops that help them incorporate lessons about energy into the classroom. In addition, STEM workshops are offered to secondary students. These include hands-on activities, tours of various types of technology installations and presentations.
Through the continuing education and outreach of Energy4me, SPE aims to educate the public and recruit new talent to grow the energy industry.
