Upon completion of this course, students will be able to design the infrastructure required for the different modes of transport: road, rail, air, sea, using the information provided for troubleshooting.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to use hydrological databases for planning, designing, and building the hydraulic works necessary for the control, capture, storage and conduction of water resources.
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.
Upon completion of this course, students will be knowledgeable about the rules, consumption, quality and economic value of water for domestic use. They will also be able to design unit operations in terms of basic engineering for the purification and treatment of domestic sewage and sludge processing.
Upon completion of this course, students will understand the functioning of different types of machinery. They will also analyze and plan the operation of this construction equipment for specific work. Additionally, they will carry out economic analyses calculating the costs, schedules, yields, amounts of equipment required, etc.
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.
