According to a corporate survey, the 13th Annual State of AgileReport[1], “97% of respondents report their organizations practices agile development methods.”This development process is a missing skill set for most computer science undergraduatesentering industry. Given the nature and scope of most coursework, undergraduate computerscience students naturally learn to develop using a waterfall design process which is an antithesisto agile software development processes. Studies have shown that active learning promoteslearning[2], so this work integrates active techniques to completely focus the course on thereal-world engineering process using agile methods.

We found that students reported high positive attitudes towardmath and science. Males and females did not differ in attitudes toward math and science. Toassist teachers with understanding the relatively new engineering and science standards, we areadding specific standards to the curricula. We provide such an overview of standards below forboth engineering and neuroscience. We also note that the comparative theme of human(brain/body) and artificial (Lego) robotics used in the curriculum is not only interdisciplinary andengaging, but also enables inclusion of science, mathematics

Current instructors are seeing a massive difference in the atmosphere between onlineand in-person modes of instruction. Many students find the online class settings daunting due toa lack of social interactions and difficulties concentrating [23]. They face additional challengesas many instructors are not properly trained to adapt their curriculum to an online setting [16].To combat inefficient classroom settings many researchers have studied the

One methodof challenging these capable students is to integrate active research programs directly into thecourses currently being taught in the ECE curriculum.
