In this seminar, the students get to know research projects being developed by the groups and begins to develop research work to communicate their progress and receive feedback, directions and suggestions.

This is a special or regular course taken by the student under a teacher-tutor’s guidance individually or in small groups, which can be used to supplement the concentration area or support the research project.

A study supervised by an advisor teacher about issues or topics within the students` focus and research area, aimed at complementing their concentration area or at complementing their preparation for the research project. At the beginning of the academic term, the student submits a proposal with the project’s objectives and scope, its methodology, expected results and the mechanism defined by the advisor for its development follow-up.

The course objective is to bring in the base methods for the analysis of dynamic linear systems with several entries and exits through linear algebra review, system’s mathematical descriptions, dynamic linear equations solutions, stability, controllability, observability and canonic forms of a system with multiple variables, transference matrix, representation by differential operator and multivariable control.

In this course the students learn basic and advanced concepts in probability and random variables that are key to conduct relevant research in electrical and electronics engineering. Topics studied in this course include probability spaces, discrete and continuous random variables, n-dimensional random vectors, covariance matrices, convergence and limit theorems, MMSE and ML estimation, and stochastic professes.

This course is an introduction to optimization techniques usually required to be used to solve problems in several engineering areas. It addresses non-restricted optimization problems and the main solving methods for this type of problems. It also addresses linear programming, including simplex method and applications to transport and flow problems. Finally, it will bring in basic restricted non-linear programming concepts.

This course covers models, methods and algorithms on machines (computers) learnt based on their experience. Mathematical learning models will be studied, based on which the fundamental elements of this type of systems from the statistical and computer standpoints. Based on the study of theory, methods of the status of art will be introduced, which are currently used with success in applications to actual problems in function classification, regression and approximation.

During this course, the student develops the theoretical framework of the thesis project and advances in the approach of the solutions to the selected problem.

The student enrolled in this course is finalizing the research project  and presents the results to a group of experts

The objective of this course is to provide students with an introduction in the field of high speed transient electromagnetic phenomena that take place in power systems due to atmospheric phenomena. This way students can apply mathematical methods for their analysis and determination of protections against surges with these characteristics.

Present, analyze and propose the concepts and methods needed to setup an economic, social and environmentally sustainable energy policy. Assimilate the main aspects of the problems associated with management in the energy context, within the new market context and in accordance with the new game rules and the sector organization. The discussion will be organized in three major topics: i- Sustainability concept and concepts related to energy systems and the energy chain. The aspects related to the assignment and utilization of energy resources in production, transformation, distribution and power consumption activities are identified. Natural resource and environmental economy (based on the economic functions of the environment) and energy balance concepts (sources, final and useful energy and losses are reviewed. A panorama of the international and Colombian energy systems is made and the international agreements regarding economic and environmental matters are examined, as well as their incidence and opportunities on the energy sector. Ii- The methodologies and tools designed to support the preparation of a sustainable energy policy are assessed, taking into consideration the technology, economic, social and environmental aspects, and taking into account the multiplicity of agents and interests involved in decision-making, the asymmetries of information and the existing limits to define such policy. The top-down and bottom-up support models for analysis will be reviewed – and the scenario technique. Iii- The restructuring processes carried out in the energy sector are discussed – changes in copyrights, activity disaggregation (des-regulation and new organization). The theories of regulation on the different State intervention means and the microeconomy fundamentals of market operation and monopoly activities are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to the rules to ensure freedom of access and to avoid restrictive practices of the competition and unfair competition, as well as the application of price regulation.

Current developments in the interaction of electronic and mechanical elements in micrometric scales have generated the microsystem concept (MST) /MEMS (micro-electromechanical system). The course is aimed at familiarizing the student with basic terms and concepts at the level of physical-mechanical parameters escalation, top-down manufacture simulation, CAD tools and applications management in the microsystems area. Tutorial work will be developed for the design of mechanical, electric, magnetic and thermal actuators that will enable the student to gain experience in description and multi-physical design of MST, using the ANSYS tool. At the end of the course, the student will have the opportunity to concentrate on a research Project.

The course allows: 1) Know methodologies for the development of prototypes based on modern technologies on Embedded platforms. 2) Study operating systems such as Linux, Linux embedded, RTOS among others as software programming alternatives for the solution of problems on embedded platforms. 3) Recognize features of operating systems in real time. 4) Develop prototypes on commercial embedded platforms. 5) Address concepts of IPC (communication between processes), sockets, process among others.

The course allows: 1) Learn about Discrete Event Systems (DES) and their applications, as well as recently emerging Hybrid Systems (HS) that combine both continuous (time-driven) and discrete (event-driven) dynamics. 2) Develop the ability to conceptualize cutting-edge issues in the DES and HS domain, and formulate problems for potential research purposes.

An in-depth treatment of the current communications digital systems is presented. Topics include, among others, the representation of deterministic and random signals, modulation and de-modulation schemes, including the current schemes, equalization, spectral properties, error correction codes, communication channel characteristics, applications.
