Abstract

The present work is a brief description of a few experiences performed by this research group, Technological Innovation for Design, with the collaboration of students working their terminal projects at Centro Universitario de Arte Arquitectura y Diseño from the University of Guadalajara. One of the interest areas of this group is to work with scraps from local manufacturing companies in order to develop and propose new materials and products using them, focusing research in agave fibers, textiles, plastics and basalt, just to mention a few in which work is currently being done. This is an opportunity, in one hand, for students to have a deeper knowledge of manufacturing processes, and on the other, to give them an approach to the knowledge of materials properties and attributes. Nevertheless the aim of the project is not a didactic experience, this last aspect is of great interest since, formally, many of these students, due to the type of design curriculum they had, did not receive this type of technical training.
