• Resumen

  • The software industry uses a mixture of plan-driven and agile techniques, and educators must prepare students for industry needs whilecreating an effective educational environment that appeals to a diverse student population. We describe the undergraduate course insoftware engineering at North Carolina State University, which teaches both agile and plan-driven practices while emphasizingcollaborative and active learning. We present demographics, personality types, and learning styles from 400 students, and providestatistical analyses and student testimonials on the impact of our course. Students have reacted favorably to the course and are betterprepared to meet the diverse needs of industry.
