Abstract: In order to prepare the students for their future professional performance, it is necessary to propose complex and realistic practical activities. However, in order to be carried out, this kind of activities typically requires a considerable amount of time, resources, and collateral knowledge. To overcome these difficulties, this paper presents a subject in a Telecommunication Engineering Degree, taught making use of different professional materials. By using these materials, it is easier to transmit information to the students through case-study methodologies. In addition, their use simplifies the preparation of problems and complex projects without generating the perception that the problems proposed are mostly resolved thanks to teaching help instead of student's performance. To demonstrate these ideas, this paper focuses on three experiences covered by the subject: one based on the use of Web resources, one using information from a professional design contest, and the last one focused on technical datasheets and application notes. These experiences have been selected in order to achieve an adequate degree of difficulty and to be attractive for students.
