that students need to have to succeed in senior capstone projects orin professional practice. APM is used to respond to students’ struggles with PBL’s projectmanagement. APM is an iterative approach with ability to respond to issues as they arisethroughout the course of the project. In this approach, students performed a series of agile ritualssuch as showcases, retrospectives, stand-up meetings and iteration reviews.2. IntroductionThe implementation of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education has gained much interest in recent years [1-3]. PBL is a dynamicclassroom approach in which students actively explore real-world problems and acquire deepcontent understanding by taking over the

students an opportunity togrow their skills over the course of their degree program. While engineering mechanics coursesare not always associated with student team projects, these courses provide the opportunity toshow students how teamwork and diversity are relevant to problem solving. And, as mechanics-oriented courses often dominate the sophomore and junior level of many engineering programs,they can be an important venue for providing continuous instruction to students about workingwith others and in teams. This paper introduces and examines the effects of a teamworkintervention in Engineering Mechanics: Statics aimed at teaching students about the importanceof diversity and inclusion in engineering with specific attention on problem solving
