So can you cite a class for future petroleum engineers on applied evolutionary theory for geologists?

Of course.

Here's one at my university:

PRINCIPLES OF PALEOBIOLOGY

This example is one of a single undergraduate course picked somewhat at random.

For futher discussion of this issue, here is a press release by the Geological Society of America on what they have to say on the subject:

The Geological Society of America recognizes that the evolution of life stands as one of the central concepts of modern science. Research in numerous fields of science during the past two centuries has produced an increasingly detailed picture of how life has evolved on Earth.

This junior-level introductory course emphasizes the application of biological and geological principles to the interpretation of fossils, with an introductory overview of such subdisciplines as taphonomy, morphology, functional anatomy, evolution, systematics, paleoecology, paleobiogeography and biostratigraphy.<<

An overview class with eight subdisciplines including evolution. Thanks for the cite, I KNEW evolution HAD to be the underpinning theory for petroleum engineers.
