The main objective of the project is to evaluate the impact of different multimedia materials developed by professors, available to students, on the acquisition and assessment of the general, specific, and transversal competencies intended for students in the subject Mathematics I, within the degrees of Industrial Technologies Engineering and Industrial Organization Engineering. Both degrees are offered at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial (ETSII) at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). Since this subject is part of the first semester of the first year of the degree, it is crucial for students to assimilate the corresponding knowledge within a theoretical-practical framework while also developing skills in mathematical thinking, incorporating abilities such as rationalization and deduction, which are essential for achieving the transversal competencies associated with this subject.

To conduct this research, the quality and usefulness of the available materials have been analyzed through various student opinion surveys. This approach enables an analysis of the current situation, which will subsequently guide the design of new activities and materials to serve as tools for the comprehension of threshold concepts.

This research aims to evaluate and improve the quality of education through multimedia materials, in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG): Quality Education, which seeks to ensure inclusive, equitable, and quality education, promoting student learning. In particular, with Goal 4.3, to ensure equal access to quality education, and Goal 4.4, to increase the number of young people with the skills needed to access employment.
