About
Dr. Sara Barquero is a leading voice in engineering education, pioneering the integration of gamification and active learning methodologies to prepare students for the demands of Industry 4.0. Her research focuses on bridging the gap between traditional curricula and the rapidly evolving technological landscape, particularly in mathematics and physics instruction within university engineering degrees. Her most cited work, "Gamification for Maths and Physics in University Degrees through a Transportation Challenge" (2022, 10 citations), exemplifies her innovative approach by transforming abstract concepts into engaging, real-world problem-solving scenarios. This paper, which has quickly garnered attention for its practical framework, demonstrates how transportation-themed challenges can boost student motivation and technical competency. Beyond this flagship study, Dr. Barquero’s broader contributions lie in designing educational interventions that equip future engineers with the skills needed for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Her work is increasingly recognized as essential reading for educators seeking to modernize STEM pedagogy, making her a key figure in the movement toward more interactive, industry-aligned higher education.
