In some cases, the company representatives hadexperiences from using Scrum or other agile methods in their software engineering groups,but Scrum had not previously been used in mechatronics design projects. In the capstoneprojects, Scrum applied to the student projects motivated the students to take a higher degreeof responsibility in terms of project organization, overall and detail planning and dynamic re-organizations. In all cases the student teams voluntary choose to base their projectorganizations on Scrum after being presented with this opportunity by the faculty.In this paper, results are presented of a study where the mutual learning outcomes have beeninvestigated

Each laboratory module was planned to build on the skills learned from theprevious laboratory exercise. For example, the second lab involved temperature measurement usingthermocouple and thermistor that involved measurement of voltage either directly or using a voltagedivider circuit. The flow

Research advocates integrating courses fromnot only the technical curriculum but also general education curriculum as well.6 Withinengineering programs, this coupling of technical and professional topics is apparent. Accordingto the results of a 2005 survey,4 over half of programs surveyed included the following topics intheir capstone design courses: written communication (87%), oral communication (83%),engineering ethics (76%), project planning and scheduling (72%), decision-making (68%),teambuilding (66%), team dynamics (63%), engineering economics (61
