文摘

Here we introduce different learning techniques that we have recently implemented in the Civil Engineering School at Universitat Polit¨¨cnica de Catalunya (UPC-BarcelonaTech) related to a Calculus course. One and multivariable Calculus is instructed in any Engineering degree since it sets up a lot of the mathematical skills that an engineer will require later in the degree, as we ll as in their professional careers. Therefore, an optimal learning of its contents becomes essential. Through the techniques introduced in this article, students should find practical incentives when putting time and effort on it, and thus, they will find it easier to study Calculus.
