Abstract

Taking into account that the mission of the university is to make people aware and sensitive towards what is happening in their environment; this paper presents a proposal for teaching innovation, its implementation as well as the results obtained from it. The main goal of this experience is aimed at showing the importance of the feedback of observing the final product to improve design and study the complete life cycle, from the conceptual idea to the final fabrication. Limitations in university teaching to show the final product applied to a real product, can be overcome by introducing a new manufacturing process, Additive manufacturing, applied to a real project.
