B.Sc. Civil Engineering

I studied my bachelors degree in Civil Engineering at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Studies (ITESM) in my beautiful hometown at Queretaro, Mexico. During my studies, I took the general required civil engineering courses although with a particular focus in structural engineering. My passion for this sub-specialty pushed me to travel to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver for my international exchange studies with a fully paid scholarship, where I discovered my interest in seismic and lateral design of infrastructure as well as my intent to pursue a masters degree.

Some of the more specialized courses that I took in my home university and during my exchange include the following

• Reinforced concrete design (ITESM)
• Steel design (ITESM)
• Advanced steel design (UBC)
• Design of masonry structures (UBC)
• Matrix structural analysis and dynamics (UBC)
• Introduction to ship structures (UBC)
• Legal aspects of Civil Engineering (UBC)
