A subject with an important practical load is chosen because they need a higher level of work in the activities, which is often not available due to the dedication that is made to the explanation of the different concepts. This chapter includes the justification for the need to apply new teaching techniques adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and the suitability of the “Flipped Classroom” methodology with the aim of improving the motivation and results of the students.
