In addition, 12 seniors from Sparkman high school werealso invited to participate in the Level 2 program.At the start of the 2010-11 academic year ten area high schools were approached aboutparticipating in Level 1 of the InSPIRESS initiative. The ten high schools were chosen becauseof their participation in the Engineering Academy Initiative for Alabama (EAIA).

the correct answer, but notin a computationally efficient way. The easiest method to mitigate this issue is to create problemswhich involve an array instead of a single scalar value. This would make the problem socomputationally inefficient to do by hand that the student would need to use MATLAB. The sidebenefit of this approach is that the results are easier to view, and a relationship between variablesmay be observed. It should be noted that students who had MATLAB Grader experience in their ComputerApplications in Engineering course seemed to adjust more easily to the MATLAB Graderproblems in their core curriculum courses that also contained MATLAB Grader and hence had amore positive learning experience.

(e.g., [3, 4, 5, 6]).However, it is rarely a focal point as most textbooks provide minimal content on Agile[7]. Thereis a need to incorporate Agile into both the content and pedagogy of courses[8]. Agile has beencombined with service-learning[9], but there has not been a lot of work integrating Agile withactive learning techniques. A specific implementation of agile that is inherently and especiallyactive is Scrum. Scrum or a
