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.

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.
