Hydrology (EV 542, fall semester, even year, 3 credit hours)
This graduate course covers the principles of engineering hydrology and analysis and modeling techniques applicable to common environmental situations that arise on tropical islands, and/or other parts of the world. Topics encompass: a) physical principles of hydrology, b) principles of hydrologic measurement, c) deterministic hydrologic analysis and modeling, d) principles of statistical analysis and hydrologic design.
Hydrology Geology & Engineering: (EV 511, spring semester, each year, 3 credit hours)
As one of the core courses 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 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.
