Our society is immersed in the Fourth Industrial Revolution due to the fast evolution of
the new technologies that are modifying the labor market. In the near future, technologies related to
Industry 4.0 will produce totally new goods and services. Therefore, the educational systems should
adapt their programs to the future needs of an uncertain labor market. In particular, mathematics
will play a key role in future jobs and there is a strong need to connect its teaching methodologies to
the new technological scene. This work uses the STEAM approach (science, technology, engineering,
arts and mathematics) along with active methodologies and educational robotics with the aim of
developing a new strategy for the application of mathematics and physics in an engineering degree.
In particular, a transportation challenge is posed to tackle the teaching–learning process of the Bézier
curves and their applications in physics. A pilot project is developed using a LEGO EV3 robot and an
active methodology, where students become the center of the learning process. The experimental
results of the pilot study indicate an increase in the motivation due to the use of robots and the
realistic context of the challenge. [-]
