This manuscript collects and analyzes students' academic results related to the change in teaching methodologies used in different subjects of different science and engineering university courses between 2013 and 2016 from traditional to active methodologies. Socrative, a platform that has been designed for the educational field, was introduced, allowing the use of personal mobile devices (laptops, smartphones, and tablets) consistent with the "Bring Your Own Device" methodology. The active methodology implemented allowed students to improve their academic results while learning and improving their passing rates.
