Integrative Engineering project and the agile scrum Framework

The research evaluated the effectiveness of cooperative learning and the development of soft skills within the framework of an integrative engineering project, managed through an agile framework (Scrum). The methodology consisted of a quantitative study with a descriptive approach, measuring soft skills through an interactive exercise integrated into the Scrum ceremonies, and the use of rubrics aligned with the guidelines of the Engineering Accreditation Commission (ABET). The results showed remarkable improvements in the soft skills of the students, with an above-average level in leadership skills, negotiation, etc. The iterative and continuous feedback allowed me to reflect with the students on motivation and how to overcome obstacles. In conclusion, implementing Scrum improved teaching, work dynamics and the strengthening of teaching practice, allowing a greater focus on the project's problems, and enriching the analysis of its causes.
