Upon completion of this course, students will be able to design roads in accordance with the standards and specifications of Mexico's Secretariat of Communiction and Transport (SCT). They will also evaluate geometric road projects.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to identify the key features that enable civil engineers to recommend a type of foundation, and design all the elements that efficiently make up such foundation, in order to provide civil works with shallow or deep foundations in accordance with site needs. They will also be able to determine settlings, load bearing capacity, land thrust, and slope stability.

The aim of this course is for students to develop the ability to carry out the control process of a public or private work from the standpoint of the builder.

The aim of this laboratory is for students to learn test methods to determine the characteristics of asphalt cements and rock aggregates used in asphalt mixtures. They will also become acquainted with the laboratory test methods to design dense, open, and draining asphalt mixes.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to analyze and design the parts of a water supply and sewerage system. They will also be able to supervise the building of the parts that make up water supply and sewerage system.

The aim of this laboratory is for students to apply techniques to carry out the calculation and layout of open polygonal lines, closed polygonal lines, horizontal curves, vertical curves, and ground levels. They will also learn to use the different surveying instruments available, tape measure, level, and total station.

Upon completion of this course, students will: (1) Use the concepts of statics to analyze the behavior of beams subjected to general bending. (2) Analyze stresses, strains, and deflections in them. (3) Analyze torsioned bars and determine buckling conditions in columns. (4) Understand and apply general analysis concepts of compounding stress and failure criteria.

Upon completion of this course, students will apply their theoretical knowledge related to the physico-chemical, mechanical, and morphological characteristics of different building materials used in civil engineering under current regulations.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to determine and graphically plot the deformation and mechanical components of statically indeterminate (hyperstatic) structures subjected to various loading conditions.

The aim of this laboratory is for students to become acquainted with the different standard laboratory tests which evaluate the mechanical properties of building materials and their practical behavior in the laboratory, in order to predict their behavior in civil works.
