career. This interdisciplinary approach to the training of undergraduatestudents helps to develop a more comprehensive vision of an engineer's professional activity. The importance of incorporating of socio-psychological component into the content ofundergraduate engineering curriculum is emphasized in the State Higher ProfessionalEducational Standard (hereinafter – Educational Standard). For example, the EducationalStandard for "Chemical Technology" program (bachelor's degree) requires that the graduateswho have successfully completed the program, in addition to core professional competences,could demonstrate the following skills: the ability and willingness to develop productiveworking relationships with colleagues; teamwork; high motivation
societal impacts ofthose projects on the local communities. This contribution gives an overview on how these partnershipswere developed and describes the importance of strong in-country partnerships for successful servicelearning experiences. In particular this contribution will illustrate how the need for community interactionis critical to the success of any project in a rural or developing community. The experiences of the UKATSgroup with the African Centre for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technology (ACREST) in Cameroonand the Organization of Development Action and Maintenance (ODAM) in India will be described. Inaddition, lessons learned regarding properly preparing students for service learning based education abroadexperiences will be

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”.
