It sounds like you've selected a University. BAD move. You know they don't have PE, does anyone from the industry recruit on campus? My guess is if they do they are looking for something other than Engineers and as an Engineer you won't even get an interview. If you want to be a PE then find a damn school that offers it. The best are Colorado School of Mines, Texas A&M, University of Tulsa, Tulane, University of Texas, Texas Tech, and University of Oklahoma. There are probably two dozen lesser-known PE programs and several of them are every bit as good as the list above.

Specifically it was told that "flow assurance" under the subsea systems engineerumbrella was a good area. But i supose flow assurance could be vague as well
