This document discusses integrating agile concepts throughout a university curriculum. It begins by explaining how the university initially focused on producing engineers with both computer and software engineering skills. It has since revised its goal to producing "adaptable engineers." Agile concepts are integrated into several core courses at the freshman, junior, and senior levels. Examples provided include using test-driven development, user stories, minimum viable products, and retrospectives. The document concludes by discussing plans to fill current gaps in sophomore courses and transfer agile concepts to other disciplines.

3. Where we started
• In 2005, we start to think how our students can differentiate
themselves from others
• Two-in-in approach
• Computer Engineers with Software Engineering skills
• In 2012, we revise our expected identity to be “an integrated
engineer”
• In 2016, we revise our expected identity to be “an adaptable
engineer”

11. # Feature: Find the maximum values
# Story:
# As a user, I want to determine which number is the
# greatest number, so that I can select the product with max profit
# Scenario 1: The first number is larger
# Given the first number is 50 and the second number is 40
# When the user applies the function
# Then the result should be 50
def test_first_number_is_larger():
assert max2(50, 40) == 50
