Abstract

Quality and diffusion of science and engineering education is a world challenge for the coming decades. It will require better and differentiated schemes of instruction able to reach the desired standards to combine science, technology and applied knowledge to solve future problems. Current vision is still limited in spite of the incipient use of educative technology in the universities, and despite its continuous growth based on mobile technologies in recent years. This chapter presents an updated vision of the educative evolution in a Numerical Methods course based on the integration of Math and Physics curricula, together with a Blended Learning approach. It describes the current movement towards a flexible scheme powered by mobile applications, the experience gained in the last ten years, and a strong collaborative faculty.
