Jazzenvironment including the Rational Team Concert (RTC) integrated development environment(IDE) to address project management for capstone projects using the Agile/Scrum methodology.Jazz/RTC allows all stakeholders (students, sponsors, and faculty) to transparently review aprocess to assess project health at any point in time. Further, transparent continuous projectmonitoring gives mentors the ability to provide just-in-time-but-not-too-late formative feedback,as well as allow continuous assessment of learning outcomes. The ability to “see where you are”in the process, and understand how the process’ practices drive progress and completion, is aninvaluable learning aid for students struggling to grasp the benefits of these methods.1

the body of knowledge that isappropriate for an undergraduate program in software engineering. Just how much of the SEEKis reflected in existing curricula? Table 1 below summarizes the topical content of the SEEK andis derived from Software Engineering 2004. As is evident from this table, not every knowledgearea represented in the SEEK has a “size” that is comparable to that of other knowledge areas.Two of the areas: the areas associated with computing essentials and mathematical andengineering foundations occupy on the order of almost 53% of the entire recommended topicalcontent as represented by the recommended minimum number of hours for each knowledge area.Professional practice, modeling, design, and verification and validation represent
