Resumen
Issues related to the failure of mathematics in the engineering education and the negative impact of these difficulties in the success of the Differentialand Integral calculus curricular units are a problem to which we have devotedour attention and research. Most students entering higher education have a weakmathematics preparation. It’s even more aggravated due to the different areasof knowledge of its experience when entering engineering courses. One of themain recommendations to assess the level of basic and elementary knowledge inmathematics of the students is to apply a Diagnostic Test. The results provide information about the mathematical contents that should be worked with students, todefine individual working plans that allow autonomous work in the Support Centerfor Mathematics in Engineering (CeAMatE). This Center is a space dedicated toaccompanying students to overcome difficulties in basic and elementary mathematics knowledge, which is essential for full integration into engineering courses.The relationship between diagnostic test results, the attendance at CeAMatE andthe evaluations obtained in the Differential and Integral Calculus curricular unitsallow the construction of an intervention at the teaching/learning level that leadshigher education institutions to overcome school failure and that induces greaterstudent confidence in the Engineering degrees option.
