Academics

MAJOR OBJECTIVES

The School of Engineering is working to establish a four-year accredited engineering degree program at UOG, which will offer a four-year Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering (B.S.E.).  The school will have faculty with expertise in each of the basic civil and environmental engineering fields, and the program will be accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).   A new building will house the new program, providing dedicated space for classrooms and laboratories, and office space for faculty and students. 

 

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Students who are planning to enroll in the program should be familiar with the general requirements and procedures for admission to the University (www.uog.edu/admissions/undergraduate-students).

 

MATHEMATICS PREPARATION

Students who are interested in enrolling in the engineering program must have solid preparation in mathematics.  All UOG students enrolling in mathematics courses must take the mathematics placement test before enrolling in their first mathematics course.  Arrangements may be made for the placement examination may contact the Mathematics Science Office at (671) 735-2825. 

STUDENT ASSISTANTSHIPS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Engineering students have opportunities to work as research assistants or interns at organizations such as UOG’s Water and Environmental Research Institute of the Western Pacific (WERI), Guam Waterworks Authority, Guam Power Authority, and Government of Guam agencies such as the Department of Public Works or Guam Environmental Protection Agency.  There are also opportunities for internships and parttime work with private consulting firms.

 

STUDENT ORGANIZATION

Engineering students also have opportunities for professional contact through organizations such as the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME), for which the School of Engineering hosts a student chapter.  For initial information, contact the Interim Dean.
