FormatTo facilitate the easy distribution and collection of the exam results, students took the examusing an online testing tool hosted inside a standard web browser. Only those students enrolledin the course were given access to the exam. Individual exam results were automaticallytabulated and sent to the course staff once each exam was completed. In addition, if a studentencountered a technical difficulty with the exam that prevented him/her from completing it, s/hewas given an opportunity to take it again and each attempt was logged separately. Fortunately,this only happened to a small number of students and there was no effect on the overall examresults.3.2 Testing SampleThe exam was initially given to a group of approximately 350 students in

(if their focus was on businessapplications). With the development of microprocessors in the 1960’s, the character of thelandscape began to change. Technology changed, creating demand for engineers whounderstood the hardware and electronics underlying the chips but also were conversant with andcapable of developing the software components of a system. It was not possible to adequatelytreat the topics needed for education of these engineers in the context of a specialization areawithin an electrical engineering program of study. The first computer engineering program wasaccredited by the EAC of ABET in 1971, and between about 1970 and 1990, computerengineering emerged as a separate discipline. The last decade of the twentieth century

The reportconcludes with the challenges and opportunities when using Scrum for student teams in softwareengineering courses and capstone projects.Scrum BackgroundScrum is an incremental and iterative process framework that, while typically associated withsoftware development, can be used for managing projects in a variety of domains. Scrum as asoftware development framework was jointly developed and introduced by Jeff Sutherland andKen Schwaber [11] in the early 1990’s. It was inspired by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonakain a 1986 publication [12] that
