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.

This is a project-based course that approaches technical drawing as an Engineering language and shows how it is a powerful tool for design and communication. The projects challenge the student and require that he or she use graphic means to communicate technical ideas. Freehand drawing and the use of contemporary CAD techniques are especially encouraged.

This is the first course of a series of three courses in the area of Mechanical Systems in the Mechanical Engineering Program. This course focuses on the basic concepts of applied mechanics in engineering (free body diagram, degrees of freedom, Newton’s laws, etc). This course is structured in three parts: the first part is dedicated to fundamentals; the second part is dedicated to statics of particles, bodies and systems; the third part is dedicated to dynamics of particles (kinematics and kinetics; motion in a plane, conservation of energy and linear momentum).

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.

This course introduces the student, who is already familiar with the basic properties and applications of the different kinds of materials, into materials property modification at different length scales,. Such approximation allows improving the criteria for process and product design based on materials structure. Furthermore, such knowledge would be contextualized in the national technological reality.

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.

This course establishes a bridge between Introduction to Mechanical Engineering and Undergraduate thesis, considering that the future engineer will probably have to carry out projects during his professional life. This course contributes to the achievement of the following purposes of the career:,English,-
1. The exploration of the context in which an engineering project is developed (local industrial environment, social, legal, economic, environmental, etc.). 2. Learning and peer feedback. 3. Contextual application of concepts, models and techniques learned during the first half of the undergraduate program. 4. The presentation of project results (reports, oral presentations, etc.).

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.
