artifact online.Students learning software engineering principles and practices may find it difficult to applythem in the development of complex software projects. Software engineering involves acquiringapplication domain knowledge to understand the client’s needs. It is therefore important to domore than simply use a game as the term project in a software engineering course as someauthors have suggested [1], [2], [3].The authors believe that the capstone design course should not be the only opportunity forstudents to manage complex software development projects. This suggests the use of othercourses in the curriculum such as a game design or artificial intelligence courses as a means ofproviding additional software engineering project experience

master mentors and coaches are present to develop a deepunderstanding of the foundations of agile [1][3]. An agile mindset suggests mastering these skillsfor practitioners to have an effective teamwork environment [3]. Thus, developing a proper agilemindset enhances agile project success [4]. Early career software engineers typically receivetheir first exposure to agile principles and methods in a university setting. Project-centric coursessuch as capstone experiences often expose students to the Agile Manifesto and to themechanisms of industry-relevant agile practices. But to what extent does this exposure help thesefuture professionals develop the agile mindset required to be successful in the modern softwaredevelopment organization?Popular

courses potentially be integrated?All stakeholders were also asked to consider the existing capstone course and how improvementscould be made. A member of the taskforce attended each consultation session to track thediscussion so that recommendations could be collated and integrated across all groups.Based on the aggregate consultation outcomes, the taskforce highlighted the following prioritiesfor action:• Highlight course differences between the software engineering program and the computer science program, including the application of software design principles and modern project management• Acknowledge the changing nature of software engineering and how content may need to adapt rapidly o Course descriptions should not focus
