. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016Supporting STEM knowledge and skills in engineering education – PELARS projectAbstractIn this paper we present our proposal for improving education with hands-on, project-based andexperimental scenarios for engineering students with the use of learning analytics. We accomplishthis through teacher and learner engagement, user studies and evaluated trials, performed at UCV(University of Craiova, Romania) and DTU (Technical University of Denmark). The PELARSproject (Practice-based Experiential Learning Analytics Research And Support) providestechnological tools and ICT-based methods for collecting activity data (moving image-based andembedded sensing) for learning

Kroppand Meier11 introduced the Agile Competence Pyramid model, differentiating various levelsof these agile skills and rating them in importance. Agile values are considered to be mostimportant in their model by being on the top of the pyramid. However, the authors notethat this level of the model “is mostly completely neglected” in current course programs.In order to address this issue in an integrated approach, we have developed the softwareengineering
