Sumario:[EN] Geotechnical engineering is usually an awkward topic for many students of civil engineering degrees who are often more focused on getting the final number of a given problem than in the process conducted to arrive to the solution. This issue is especially significant when teaching advance topics of geotechnical engineering such as Tunneling or Ground Improvement. Those topics are normally taught in the last years of the degrees and in many cases students are used to the classical teaching in Higher Education. All of this normally results in a low motivation of students, mainly interested in obtaining the degree itself, more than in learning. This article shows an active learning methodology based on autolearning which leads to involving the engineering students in those advanced geotechnical engineering topics, even enjoying with them. The core activity of the learning methodology is the preparation of a part of the subject by the own students, who work in groups and have to give a real lecture to their colleagues
