Each team picks itschoice of a vehicle, machine or system from which they will pick all mechanical components foranalysis and design in the course. Each team is required to carry out four mechanical componentprojects and write project reports and make presentations. Each project covers a time period ofthree to four weeks. For example, fasteners and springs projects are projects that require threeweeks; bearings and gears projects require four weeks. Each team makes a presentation on eachof the four projects during the semester.

. This is due to the emphasis onearly prototyping, quick feedback and incremental development. It still might not be thefavorable method for use in large scale industrial development projects where formalprocedures might still be preferred, but the pedagogical advantages in mechatronics educationare valuable. Incremental development and rapid prototyping for example gives manyopportunities to reflect and improve. The Scrum focus on self-organizing teams also providesa platform to practice project organization, by empowering students to take responsibility forthe product development process.Among the results of this study, it is shown that it is possible and favorable to integrate Scrumin a mechatronics capstone course and that this can enhance
