6364 2025 eng 135 144 conferenceobject BayZiel München 0 -- -- -- We all recognize the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) in engaging everyone and helping students develop critical thinking and teamwork skills. PBL was developed to make medicine students ready to work under real life conditions. Therefore, since the 50s there have been several cases for medicine scenarios being published. In the STEM field it is still not common to use this method, which is quite unfortunate. Therefore, we have chosen to share how we implement PBL to teach Communication Networks to master’s students. In this paper, we will present our experiences in designing new PBL cases, alongside feedback from our Center for Teaching and Learning (ZLL). These cases reflect current trends in key topics related to communication networks, our engagement strategies, and the student feedback we have received during the winter semester 2024/25.
