(2) Model driving hydraulics in closed and open systems. (3) Perform load balance and energy. (4) Apply the laws of similarity and dimensional analysis.

The aim of the labortory is for students to understand the importance of laboratory tests applied to soils in their characterization; evaluate the values ​​of physical properties such as particle size, plasticity, compaction, moisture, porosity, and shear; and compare the specifications required for civil engineering works.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: (1) Analyze the resistance of different soil types, based on laboratory and field tests. (2) Calculate soil thrust on retaining elements, determine the safety of embankments and provide elements to calculate the load capacity in different soils, (3) Apply numerical methods for linear fit of functions, numerical integration, and to obtain roots.

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.

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.

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: (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.

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.

Students will plan and develop a project similar to the projects they will encounter in their careers and which integrates the knowledge acquired throughout their undergraduate degree program. They will develop their professional responsibility and methodological ability to search for, process, and use information, formulate problems , design solutions, and implement appropriate techniques. They will also work in interdisciplinary teams
