These studies suggest that high schoolstudents, when given opportunity and support, successfully complete rigorous STEM programs [5].Conversely, other studies have shown no significant differences in participation rates in advancedsciences and mathematics for students at STEM focused schools compared to their peers [6].Fortunately, this suggests that academic background may be irrelevant when students are

However,these courses differ from the norm in that they employ a project-based learning approach,thereby exposing students to a collaborative environment consisting of their peers, teams offaculty members, and stakeholders from the greater community.

These moretraditional approaches provide a beneficial learning experience and support integrating thevarious components of the SE body of knowledge, but are limited by time and domain. Thecapstone is usually a single project and at most a year in length. If it covers the full lifecycle,then it must be a fairly simple project and most likely represents only one domain.

Instructors need to helpstudents become cognizant of their teamwork skills, such as conflict resolution, scrum values, andcultural self-awareness. In this research paper, we intend to understand the perception of studentsenrolled in a sophomore-level system's course regarding conflict resolution skills, scrum values,and cultural self-awareness. We also want to understand how the perception of these values isrelated to one another. In the light of this study, we want to answer the following research questions(1) How do students' reported conflict management skills relate to their reported scrum values?
