The challenges facing today's engineers are so complex that they require theinvolvement of teams of experts specialized in different fields. The volume of informationand knowledge needed to understand and solve problems is increasing so fast that one personcannot keep up with it all. Intense specialization increases the value of the ability to functionon a multidisciplinary team. As a result, the need
Plattner Institute for IT Systems Engineering c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Teaching Agile the Agile Way — Employing Self-Organizing Teams in a University Software Engineering CourseIntroductionTeaching agile software methodologies in university courses has become the norm, as thesemethods have gained support in professional software development. There are differentapproaches of how to teach these methods in university courses. Traditional lectures andseminars are proven, effective tools for teaching factual knowledge and technical skills.However, as Bruegge et al.5 point out, in order to “really assimilate and internalize the agilevalues, a theoretical lecture is not enough”. In

Thesecourses can provide educational context for the impacts – both positive and negative – that engineers havehad and continue to have on the developing world. Non-traditional education abroad experiences indeveloping countries can be a challenge to organize, but can benefit greatly from strong partnerships withorganizations in the host country. The
