This course aims for students to design, analyze, and improve production planning and control systems that support the operation of the production system of a company at the desired level of competitiveness.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to operate technical, technological and economic evaluations of projects in the engineering area, especially in the environment of the company, using the concepts and conventional methods applied to examples and real cases including new products or expansion of the production, risk factors, taxes, and inflation.
 

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to identify, find the mathematical model and solve problems whose variables are linearly related, trying to optimize an objective that is subject to restrictions.

Upon completion of this course, students will be familiar with the principal manufacturing processes (from  bulk material to its description and application) currently used in the manufacturing of metallic, polymeric, ceramic and composite materials products. They will also be acquainted with the development trends of modern processes.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to (1) Discover the metallurgical characteristics of metals and its alloys, phase diagrams and its microstructure. (2) Design the required heat treatments for any particular application. (3) Know and apply adequate materials selection methodology.

The aim of this course is for students to develop abilities of programming for the solution of engineering problems using MATLAB as support software.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to solve problems that involve the relations between the geometry and the movements of a mechanism and the forces that produce those movements.

By the end of this course, students will be able to use their knowledge and skills of parametric design to develop and analyze the function and performance of parts, assemblies and mechanisms.

By the end of this course, students will be able to solve problems by applying the principles that characterize static and moving fluids to analyze and evaluate hydraulic systems.
