    The purpose of the project is to design and build a single-impeller ram pump, a hydraulic device that harnesses the energy of a flow of water to lift a portion of it without the need for electrical power. This type of pump is ideal for irrigation systems, water supply and educational activities that teach principles of hydraulics and engineering. The ram pump will be installed in the central courtyard of the Faculty of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, which will allow students and professors to interact directly with the device, favoring practical teaching and experimentation in the academic environment. The design comprises the principles of fluid mechanics and the ram pump was manufactured using accessible materials such as stainless steel or PVC for its main components (tubes, valves, compression chamber, etc.). Key aspects of the hydraulic system were considered, such as the available water flow and pressure fluctuations and the height at which the feed tank should be, in order to optimize its performance, it was possible to conclude that the output flow rate is 5.71 liters per minute, thus achieving a continuous flow for the cascade type water source for the benefit of the learning of the students of the Mechanics Career. As a result, special attention was paid to the educational functionality of the project, ensuring that it serves as a learning tool for the understanding of hydraulic and mechanical concepts, fostering curiosity and academic development of future engineers.
