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.
The aim of this laboratory is for students to: (1) Apply experimental procedures to measure the behavior of fluids and use the equipment's capacity to experiment with hydrostatic pressure models. (2) Model driving hydraulics in closed and open systems. (3) Perform load balance and energy. (4) Apply the laws of similarity and dimensional analysis.
Upon completion of this course, students will understand and identify the properties of concrete and its components. They will also plan and use design techniques, dosage, preparation, handling, control, and transport of quality concrete.
Upon completion of this course, students will apply theoretical concepts to determine the unit costs of construction and plan a budget for the work.
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.
