Abstract

This article presents a brief introduction to engineering and the relationship between Civil Engineering and Agroindustry, from the perspective of the use of sustainable agroindustrial materials with the objective of minimizing environmental deterioration. From the former perspective, multi and transdisciplinary collaboration has been established between the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, and Guanajuato University.
