Students will develop a project similar to the projects they will encounter in their careers and which integrates the knowledge acquired throughout their undergraduate program in Civil Engineering. They will also learn to develop their professional responsibility, as well as their methodological ability to search for, process, and use information, formulate problems, design solution, and apply appropriate techniques.
By the end of this course, students will learn different techniques for the assessment, maintenance, and rehabilitation of flexible and rigid pavements. They will be familiar with methods for the assessment of pavement quality. They will identify the types of deterioration present in pavement. Aditionally, they will be acquainted with the necessary procedure to implement a pavement mangement system.
By the end of this course, students will be knowledgeable about the concepts of planning, geometric project, and operation of traffic on roads, streets, terminals, and adjacent areas. They will have learned to diagnose the behavior of traffic and will be able to determine its current level of service and provide solutions for its improvement.
By the end of this course, students will understand the dynamic effects on the behavior of structures. They will learn to model and analyze structures such as systems with one degree of freedom and several degrees of freedom. Additionally, they will be knowledgeable about the Mexican regulations for seismic design and they will be able to apply them to the analysis and design of buildings.
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 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.
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 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.
