The aim of this course is the theoretical and practical application of the knowledge the students acquired to the complete development of a Construction Project, integrating the knowledge acquired in classes related to the planning, development and construction of a project, from it conception to its final definition.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to carry out the experimental measurements of different water quality parameters such as suspended and dissolved solids, pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorine, etc. They will also be able to interpret the experimental measurements and evaluate the efficiency of a water treatment process.
The aim of this course is for students to apply theoretical knowledge related to Project Evaluation based on financial terms in order to argue decision-making regarding the acceptance or rejection of a construction project in accordance with the studies conducted during project development.
By the end of this course, students will be able to calculate beam deflections. They will also be able to design reinforced concrete beams, prestressed concrete beams, slender columns and biaxial bending columns. Aditionally, they will analyze and dimension concrete structures subjected to live loads, dead loads, earthquakes, and the wind.
The aim of this laboratory is for students to: (1) Apply experimental procedures to measure the behavior of fluids and use the equipment's capacity to experiment with hydrostatic pressure models. (2) Model driving hydraulics in closed and open systems. (3) Perform load balance and energy. (4) Apply the laws of similarity and dimensional analysis.
Upon completion of this course, students will understand and identify the properties of concrete and its components. They will also plan and use design techniques, dosage, preparation, handling, control, and transport of quality concrete.
Upon completion of this course, students will apply theoretical concepts to determine the unit costs of construction and plan a budget for the work.
Upon completion of this course, students will analyze and dimension reinforced concrete elements such as beams, colums, slabs, and reinforced concrete foundations under different types of loads.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to design steel elements to form part of a structure and design each of the different components that are part of a steel structure using the AISC-LRFD code.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to analyze statically indeterminate (hyperstatic) structures based on the Cross method for beams and frames, and the Matrix method for beams, frames and reinforcement.
