This course teaches the fundamental math concepts needed for Systems and Computing Engineering. It provides a language that allows for the formal definition of models, reasoning over these models as well as understanding and carrying out proofs using this formal language. Specifically this course teaches the syntax and semantics of discrete math models such as sets, relations, functions, propositional and predicate logic and number theory. Proof techniques applied to these models are also taught.

The general objective of this course is to give the students an integral view of systems and general industrial equipment for energy conversion (be it supply or consumption equipment). The student will use the general engineering fundamentals to analyze the performance of such systems and prime movers. The course is oriented towards the knowledge development for analysis, design of energy conversion systems, frequently used in industry.

This course introduces common technological methods involved in manufacturing and processing of products, made with different engineering materials. In order to achieve these objectives, the student will attend tutorials and discussion classes and will make guided investigations in the commercial and industrial environment. He also will participate in laboratory practice guided by the professor, class monitor or specialized technicians.

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 course is located on the training and innovation projects line in the engineering program at the Universidad de los Andes. After the first semester experience in development projects with ExpoAndes, for a semester students will work on the definition and development of innovative projects with information technology. These projects have the ambition to be sustainable over time and internationally competitive.,English,- This dynamic must be reinforced with the knowledge and skills acquired in the second half of the engineering education. The activities of the students in the graduation project, which has a vocation of synthesis, can be a success factor for some of these projects started in this course, so they might be able to find a space in the business world and/or academic.

The goal of this course is to study the more important aspects that must be considered for choosing and maintaining the computational infrastructure for supporting the activities of a project or enterprise,English,- The main problems that are considered are: capacity planning, transactions security, performance evaluation and servers securing. Additionally, other topics related to the above mentioned problems are studied: concurrency, deadlocks, asynchronous programming, virtual memory, file systems, machine states, memory protection and virtual machines.

In this seminar the student defines the ME degree Project, which is to be carried out the semester,English,- following this seminar. The student submits a proposal of the ME degree project, as a final,English,- requirement for graduation

Individual work of students in their last semester, which implies the study of special problems within the mechanical engineering area, under the direction of an advisor professor.

This course is a short project led by a department full-time professor, who authorizes a student to conduct it.
