Abstract

This article presents the LIZGAIRO project, which aims to promote students' understanding of fundamental engineering concepts and their ability to apply them to solve real‐world problems through project‐based learning. The project was run over a 3‐year period, with students from the telecommunication degree at the Universidade de Vigo. The Scrum framework, an agile project management framework, was used to promote effective teamwork, active participation and ownership among students. The article describes the effectiveness of the project and its impact on students' learning success, delivered project quality and overall skills acquisition. After implementing LIZGAIRO, both teachers and students reported a positive impact on student learning, with high levels of essential skill acquisition and project quality. Although learning the framework fundamentals takes time for both teachers and students, the adaptability of Scrum and the use of continuous assessment were found to be beneficial.
