tackled.Scrum for EducationEducators in computer science have begun implementing these methods and tools in theirclassrooms in part at the behest of their industries who would like to hire students already trained[17]. Other educators have noticed that the flexibility in response to complicated objectives has alot in common with many classrooms beyond computer science. EduScrum was developed in theNetherlands and showed favorable results with scrum as a pedagogical technique in middleschool [18]. The Product Owner is replaced by the teacher who decides what needs to be learnedand to what level. The teacher defines certain acceptance criteria which can be test scores orscopes of projects.

Yet recognizing the potential of technology to cause harm, theyalso chose the Kantian principle of people as “ends rather than means”. While textbooksmentioned other principles such as Rawls’ theory of Justice, these two – utilitarianism andKant’s Imperative- translated as a version of the Golden Rule – remained the main basis.This was the case for example of the widely used textbook on engineering ethics [3]. Theother pioneering textbook, by Martin and Schinzinger [4], framed engineering as “socialexperimentation”, and chose three principles: Awareness (of the consequences of theengineering project); Autonomy (the

Another advantage of our approach is the depth of the content. Assuming that a student ina typical technical writing course spends 3 hours outside of class for every hour in class onassignments and assuming that 2 of those hours are spent on the writing, the student would spendat most 15 hours researching the topic of the document sequence.

The researchers implemented a course called First-Year Engineering Projects,which required hands-on design experience which emphasized teamwork and successfulimplementation of a student-researched plan [6]. Traditionally, such an experience would notoccur for engineering students until the final year of their program, in the form of a SeniorDesign or Capstone project.

collaborative learning is not directly relevant to our approach since thekinds of activities considered in much of that work, e.g., team projects in capstone design coursesas well as in several of the systems listed above do not, for the most part, involve students in ateam trying to resolve cognitive conflicts. Indeed, students in such teams often go out of their wayto not criticize the ideas offered by other members of the team for fear of offending them. Morerelevant for us is the work on the role of argumentation in learning. But, as Driver et al. [8] putit, “[although] argument is a central feature of the resolution of scientific controversies, scienceteaching has paid . . . little attention to [this] practice . . . It is our contention that
undertake more open-ended inquiry. With each step in thisprogression, the student is given increasing amounts of autonomy in making decisions about howto conduct the investigation, and eventually what to investigate and why. This aligns with thedevelopmental assumption underlying the Thirteen Objectives; these were always intended to becumulative and apply over the entire undergraduate program and not be the outcome of any onelaboratory experience [6]. With the possible exception of a capstone research project, arguablyfew undergraduate students get to experience a level 3 lab.Several of the Thirteen Fundamental Objectives of Engineering Instructional Laboratories [4]point to a broader conception of what might be encompassed by lab.
