Compulsory Specific Courses

Students in the Master’s Degree in Engineering with an emphasis in Mechanical Engineering must take three (3) courses from the following Compulsory Specific Courses to complete the 12 credits required in the Foundation Component.

Likewise, these Compulsory Specific courses can be taken in any semester in order to fulfill the required number of credits.

• 780120 - Introduction to Basic Aerodynamics
• 780743 - Analytical Methods I
• 780751 - Analytical Methods II
• 780757 - Dynamic Systems

Elective Specific Courses

To fulfill the credits for Elective Specific Courses, students in the Research modality must complete a total of 12 credits in Electives.

The list of Elective Specific Courses will vary according to the semester course offerings programmed by the Graduate Committee, taking into account the number of pre-registered students per course (minimum 2 students per course).
