Thermodynamics is the first of four courses required in the energy conversion area. This course focuses on the understanding and application of the first and second law of thermodynamics to the analysis of basic macroscopic thermodynamic systems. Thus, it deals with the study of the various energy forms and its transference through the system boundaries in the forms of heat and work. Additionally, pure substances are studied and closed and open systems are analyzed. The course is complemented with the study of the Otto, Diesel, and Brayton power cycles.

One of the most common problems for an engineer is to decide proportions, shape and materials for an element of a machine or structure, which have to support external forces during a lifespan without excessive wear, deformation or fracture. The purpose of this course is to provide at the student with bases on structural design unifying concepts from applied mechanics and science of materials.

One of the most common problems an engineer is faced with is to decide proportions, shape and materials to be used in a machine or structure, which must support external loads during a certain lifecycle, with no evidence of excessive wear, deformation or fractures. Hence, the purpose of this course is to provide the structural design fundamentals, based on a unified treatment of the mechanics applied and the materials science. As such, the Deformed Solids Mechanics study can be summarized in the knowledge of the following aspects: · Analysis of induced stress and deformation in a loaded body, which may be studied through the use of balance methods (laws of force), the force-deformation ratios (unitary stress-deformation) and the geometrical deformation compatibility conditions (each deformed portion in a body must adjust to other adjacent bodies). · Determination, through analysis or tests, of the highest load that a mechanical structure or element can hold with no damages or failures caused, or without jeopardizing the function for which it was selected. · Determination of body shape and selection of the most appropriate, efficient materials to withstand a certain force system, under specific operating environmental conditions (design function). The growing demand of more and more sophisticated structures and machinery components obliges engineers to have a clear understanding of stress, deformation and material property components. Hence, the course must offer students ideas and information needed to understand the basic concepts of deformable body mechanics and, therefore, promote the creative design process. Furthermore, students must develop imitation and / or algorithm application skills in the solution of mathematical models applied to the calculation of mechanical elements and to the analysis and synthesis (division of material stress and deformation problems, including movement restriction and proposal of global solutions).

This course focuses on the key topics of conduction, convection, and radiation. One- dimension conduction is studied analytically for steady and transient state conditions whereas twodimension conduction problems are analyzed basically using numerical and graphical methods. Forced convection analyses are considered for internal and external (turbulent and laminar) flows while natural and mixed convection conditions are considered only for external flows. Additionally, the course is complemented with the analysis of radiation problems for black and gray surfaces separated by nonparticipating media. During the development of the course, the students are encouraged to use the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software in the Engineering problem solutions.

The design of mechanical systems is the activity in which a Mechanical Engineer uses the principles of science to develop a product. This product can be a structure, a mechanism, a machine, a plant, etc., that satisfies the needs or desires of a customer. Such need define the design objective, requirements, restrictions, and/or criteria. Additionally, the system’s operating conditions and the capital available for its development must be considered.,English,-
The purpose of this course is to expose the students to the conditions under which mechanical systems are designed in a professional environment. Engineering problems must be solved in teams using the best information available, within a certain timestamp and with a limited budget. With this in mind, the course’s projects will be developed by teams of students.

This is a first course of computer networks. Under a top-down approach, it presents each one of the levels that compose the protocol stack of a network, with special emphasis in TCP/IP that is in the base of the Internet. TCP/IP is used like example of real implementation of the fundamental concepts of networks, without forgetting the protocols and implementations of different network architectures. Specificities are additionally introduced to understand how to adapt these concepts to new technologies like wireless networks. Special emphasis is put to understand the impact on both security and performance of current networking implementations.,English,-
The course has two equally important components: theoretical lectures and practical laboratories. Laboratories not only illustrate the practical part of the most important concepts seen in the theoretical classes, but also they complement in themes that seek to give to students new skills useful in the practice of the profession.

The scientific research is derived from a question or problem that has not been studied before, or the response of which is not satisfactory yet. A research is far more than a simple search for information, it is the consequence of the systematic application of the scientific method, with the final purpose of contributing to the solution of problems that affect society. A research requires goals, planning, hypotheses, critical assumptions and information generation and interpretation. The general purpose of this course is to provide students the tools for the sound exercise of research, within the framework of the scientific method. The articulation of these tools by students will be evaluated based on the research proposal and its defense before a panel of evaluators.
