The composition of *Ingeniería en Chihuahua* (Engineering in Chihuahua) features motifs drawn from civil engineering in the state of Chihuahua. The central figure depicts an engineer whose hands control and direct the four elements—water, earth, wind, and fire—which intertwine to form a harmonious union. The engineer stands upright and solid, like a column aspiring to permanence, and is sheltered within an archway that evokes the fraternity of the College of Engineers. This arch is constructed of stones ranging from the cornerstone—representing the founders—to the keystone at the composition's zenith, all supported by the legacy of preceding boards of directors, thereby demonstrating the unity of the profession. The visual paths of the four elements all converge toward this keystone.
Geometry is expressed through stylized forms, ranging from the depiction of the engineers and their structures to the use of vanishing points that keep the viewer's attention focused within the mural.
A dynamic two-point perspective is employed: one vanishing point is located at the engineer's head, symbolizing intellect, while the other is at the chest, representing passion; these points connect to the primary forms of bridges, dams, buildings, and roads.
The concept of development is conveyed through human labor—from manual laborers to the engineers who plan for the public good—while laws and treaties mark the beginnings of a society that both utilizes and preserves natural resources.
