Hardware Project Development using Scrum in the Interactive Technologies Degree

Abstract

[EN] Learning electronics in the fourth-wave industrial age requires an extra effort to motivate students. They often feel frustrated so they do not spend enough time to acquire in depth-knowledge. To enhance student's motivation and engagement, instructional methods of teaching and learning are being tested in some Universities [1]. Among these methods, project based learning (PBL) has proven to be useful to overcome frustration and improve student engagement. This methodology is even more successful if it is implemented using an agile approach, like Scrum. This paper describes a new way to teach electronics based on the use of PBL and Scrum and presents results of its application regarding to the acquisition level of some competences.
