Abstract

This paper describes the design of a 10-week summer software engineering capstone course that provides a service learning opportunity through cross-departmental collaboration. The projects for this course centered on developing software products to support education faculty in their work in the greater university area. This paper will also discuss how Scrum was implemented over a 10-week summer semester, the outcomes and challenges of cross-departmental collaboration, the types of projects created for education faculty, and the advantages of connecting software engineering capstone courses with education faculty.
