Not that many. And a petroleum engineering degree is closer to a physics/civil/mechanical degree than it is a chemical degree.
How so? When I was considering UT's CBE program they tried selling me on becoming a PE after graduation and earning the top engineer discipline salary out there.

Yeah it pays a lot of money, but as far as actual engineering, the amount of chemical coursework wasn't that intensive. You basically learn Darcy's Law a million times over, throw in some statistical analysis, pressure, etc. Like prepare you for the upstream side. Downstream is where all the chemical guys worked, and I don't really have any idea all the shite that happens at a refinery. At least that is how Texas A&M was focused, almost all E&P.
