What is TecNM Control Escolar?

TecNM Control Escolar is a modern, student-facing mobile application designed for the Tecnológico Nacional de México (TecNM) campus system. Built specifically for Campus Zongolica, this app provides students with instant access to their class schedules, campus maps, and academic profiles—all in the palm of their hand.
This app is currently in development and uses simulated data from FakeData.kt for demonstration purposes. Real backend integration is planned for future releases.

​

​
Technology Stack

TecNM Control Escolar is built with modern Android development tools and best practices:

Kotlin

100% Kotlin codebase for type safety and modern language features

Jetpack Compose

Declarative UI framework for building beautiful, reactive interfaces

Material Design 3

Modern design system with dynamic theming and TecNM brand colors

Navigation Compose

Type-safe navigation between screens with bottom navigation bar

​
Architecture Highlights

// Data models with immutable data classes
data class Student(
    val id: Int,
    val controlNumber: String,
    val name: String,
    val career: String,
    val semester: Int,
    val average: Double
)

data class ClassSession(
    val id: Int,
    val subject: String,
    val teacher: String,
    val classroom: String,
    val day: String,
    val startHour: String,
    val endHour: String,
    val isCurrent: Boolean = false
)
The app follows a clean architecture pattern with:
  • Data layer - Model classes and fake data sources (FakeData.kt)
  • UI layer - Composable screens with Material Design 3 components
  • Navigation layer - Centralized navigation graph using Navigation Compose

​
Design System

The app uses a custom theme based on TecNM’s brand identity:
  • TecBlue - Primary brand color used for headers, navigation, and key actions
  • TecGold - Accent color for highlights, floating action buttons, and active states
  • Material Design 3 - Modern component library with elevation, rounded corners, and smooth transitions
The app features a consistent light theme with a neutral background (Color(0xFFF5F6F8)) that provides excellent contrast for content cards and maintains readability throughout the day.

​
Current Status

TecNM Control Escolar is currently in active development. The app uses FakeData.kt to provide realistic sample data:
  • Sample student: Arlyn Alfaro (Control Number: 226W0487)
  • Sample classes: 4 daily classes including Physics, Programming, English, and Calculus
  • Sample buildings: Edificio A, Laboratorio 3, and Cafetería Central
This allows developers and designers to build and test features before backend integration.
