Environmental Impact Assessment (EV 513, fall semester, 2 credit hours)
One of the core courses of the University of Guam's Environmental Science Master's Degree Program, it involves discussing, structuring, writing, and evaluating environmental impact assessments. The course focuses on the production of formal environmental impact statements for actual, proposed, and hypothetical projects on Guam.
Hydrology: Geology & Engineering (EV 511, spring semester, each year, 3 credit hours)
Another core course of the Environmental Science MS Program, this course surveys the key aspects of geology and engineering that environmental scientists should be familiar with. Team taught by the WERI faculty, topics include meteorology, surface hydrology, open channel flow, erosion and sedimentation, and groundwater hydrology.
Engineering Orientation (ES 100, fall semester, each year, 1 credit hours)
This course is designed to give freshmen students' insight into the nature of technology and an engineer's role in society. This is the first course of the Pre-Engineering Undergraduate Program at the University of Guam.
Engineering Graphics (ES 101, spring semester, each year, 3 credit hours)
Concept and methods of communications by graphical means, freehand and instrument drawing, orthogonal projections, and descriptive geometry are covered in this course. All instrumental drawings are done using the latest AutoCAD program.
Engineering Statics (ES 201, fall semester, each year, 3 credit hours)
This course covers forces, resultants and equilibrium, the analysis of trusses, frames, machines, centroid, moment of inertia, and friction.
Engineering Dynamics (ES 202, spring semester, each year, 3 credit hours)
This course covers kinematics and kinetics of translation, rotation, plane motion, works, energy, power, impulse, momentum, impact, kinetics of variable mass, and introduction to vibration.
