Students will apply previously acquired knowledge to various concrete situations of every-day life through dialogs and group conversations: going shopping, at the airport, at the doctor's office, at the university, among others.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to solve heat transfer problems by conduction, convection and radiation either in a stable or unstable state, in order to analyze and evaluate their different applications.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to operate the first and second law of Thermodynamics in the calculation of the parameters involved in the gas, steam, cooling, and air conditioning cycles, and therefore, they will also be able to analyze and evaluate these systems.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to use the main design methodologies for product development in order to optimize design the process timeframes, materials, number of parts and assembly time.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to solve Engineering problems by using the method of finite elements based on computer codes developed in the course. They will also use commercial software to solve high-level complex problems.

Upon completion of this course, students will be knowledgeable in the phenomena of friciton, wear, and lubrication. They will know how to research the tribological properties of different materials and select the materials to use under certain work conditions.

The aim of this course is for students to: (1) Design a process to turn a manufacturing company into a World Class enterprise. (2) Determine the projects and programs required to achieve that goal, such as changing the organizational culture, organizing high-performance teams, reducing product-change time, flow synchronization, cellular manufacture, and tion of the time of change of products, synchronization of the flow, cellular manufacture, etc.

Upon completion of this course, students will be familiar with the mechanical characteristics, technological characteristics, structures, and application of advanced technology materials used in the construction of machines.

The aim of this program is for students to: (1) Plan and develop a project that is similar to those they will encounter in their careers and which integrates the knowledge acquired throughout the undergraduate degree program in Mechatronics. (2) Develop their professional responsibility, their methodological capacity to search for, process, and use information, to formulate problems, design solutions, and apply suitable techniques.
