The Department of Graphic Engineering and Design (DEGD) of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia has undergone continuous and rapid changes in its teaching and research methods in recent years. The DEGD has pursued continuous improvement in learning techniques in its Undergraduate, Master’s and Doctoral programs, striving for excellence, adapting to the increasingly more varied research needs demanded by society from institutions of higher education. We are experiencing paradigm shifts, to a great extent due to the global change affecting the Earth, and we cannot sit back and wait as a society or a department. It is for this reason that a large part of the research carried out recently is related to improved sustainability, investigating new materials, industrial processes, technologies and mechanisms to repurpose and recycle, as is evident in the chapters of the present book. Graphic Engineering and Design is present in the design methodologies used to design a competition motorcycle, in the study of the potential of cellulose as a sustainable material, in the learning about equidistant curves and the solving of tangency problems, in the quest for an alternative to materials derived from fossil resources, in the new production processes for e-commerce packaging, in additive manufacturing, in 3D printing, in the new design methods for porous scaffolds; cross-curricular and innovative knowledge that forms part of the research at DEGD.

El objetivo es mostrar las fuentes del Montseny como protagonista de usos históricos, prácticos y culturales, origen de leyendas y mitos, su utilización como recurso económico para la industria embotelladora, y el legado natural del agua, todo ello a modo catálogo sobre las fuentes existentes en dicho territorio. La investigación metodológica lleva a cabo un estudio pormenorizado de las fuentes existentes, desde un punto de vista teórico y práctico. Se han hallado casi 900 fuentes, y se ha elaborado un catálogo sobre la situación exacta de las fuentes y las características históricas y naturales, destacando los relatos asociados a cada una de las fuentes. Se reivindica la perspectiva social de las manantiales de agua natural, como elementos de valoración que pretende recuperar la cultura de la fuente: tradiciones, costumbres y hábitos que se llevan a cabo con las fuentes y el agua como protagonistas.
