Civil Engineering
Pre professional practices
The Civil Engineering student will be able to carry out the pre-professional business internship considering that the profiles of the intern are: Structures, Geotechnics, Hydraulics and Works.
The student must pass the subject associated with the profile of his/her interest in order to apply for business practice. The associated subjects are:
- Reinforced Concrete (Structure Profile).
- Soil and Rock Mechanics (Geotechnical profile).
- Surveying and Geographic Information Systems (Works profile).
- Hydraulics (Hydraulics profile).
Every 48 hours of pre-professional internship is equivalent to 1 academic credit. The student must complete 5 credits of pre-professional internships in order to take the integrative subject.

Geology
Pre professional practices
The Geology Engineering student will be able to access the realization of Pre-Professional Practices considering:
Ability to express yourself orally and in writing. Preparation of technical reports, proposals and studies.
Ethical and professional responsibility
Availability of credits to carry out internships (5 credits for pre-professional business internships if carried out in PAO 1 or PAO 2.
Be an active student and not be in a probationary situation.
The student will be able to access the Pre-Professional Practices once they have approved the subjects of the profile to which they will be assigned, these are defined below:
. Geochemistry and Geostatistics: Identification, characterization and classification of rocks, gases, liquid solutions and minerals. Analysis, sampling, interpretation and classification of georeferenced information, zoning and/or maps of interest. Interpretation of geochemical, mineralogical and petrographic information for the identification of ore minerals.
- Geological Engineering and Geology: Determine the properties and indices of the soil for the analysis of interaction between the phases of the porous medium. Determine the resistance and deformability properties of the rock mass through tests, for the study of the rock matrix. Evaluate the stability of underground excavations and slopes through the study of historical cases, which lead to the resolution of practical problems of rock mechanics.
- Geographic Information Systems and Geology: Represent and analyze spatial elements through maps taking into account geological and structural data, profiles and block diagrams.
- Geomorphology and Geographic Information Systems: Analyze the different types of lithological units, geological structures and geological features, for the preparation of maps. Represent and analyze the elements and their spatial behavior, applying vector and raster data models, for the analysis of georeferenced variables to design solutions in different fields of engineering.
· Geophysical Methods and Information Systems: Relate the main parameters involved in the acquisition and processing of data in the different geophysical methods for the characterization of the subsoil and groundwater. Interpret and represent geophysical data by applying the knowledge acquired for the elaboration of subsoil models.
Mining
Pre professional practices
In Mining, students have the ability to carry out activities related to geomatics (Topography and Geographic Information Systems), underground and surface mining operations, mineral treatment plants. It should be noted that the student's profile is designated according to his progress in the career, which is linked to the number of subjects passed.
