IC 2200 Soil Mechanics

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.

IC 2000 Mechanics of Materials II

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.

IC 1200 Surveying Laboratory

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.

PI 1009 Interdisciplinary Final Evaluation Program

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

IN 4823 Embedded Systems Laboratory

During this laboratory, students will analyze, design, and implement electronic control systems in real time for an application in the industrial, automotive, and communications branches in a programmable development system or in a programmable logic array. The students will generate software solutions and hardware architecutre solutions for the applications they develop, using computer tools to specify, analyze, and design solutions.
