Abstract

Agile procedures (e.g. Scrum) are applied in software engineering increasingly. These procedures enhance interdisciplinary collaboration, improvements of lead times and reduction of development costs. Hence, latest research activities are transferring such flexible techniques into machinery and plant construction, in order to cope with the rising software integration into mechatronic modules. As agile procedures have been omitted in mechanical engineering yet, we introduce a novel concept of a learning platform about Agile Engineering. This paper presents the background and experiences of Agile Engineering as well as the setting, the results and first educational achievements within our academic courses.
