This article describes the experience of teaching the Software Engineering course to undergraduate students in the Escuela de Computación of the Universidad de Costa Rica. Over the past three years, changes in the methodology have been introduced with the purpose of solving problems in learning curve and weaknesses in testing process. By introducing Scrum practices and extreme programming combined with Rationale Unified Process (RUP), which is normally used, it has been able to improve the learning curve and to obtain products of better quality. The article presents the challenges that have been arisen, the way they have been managed and the benefits obtained by applying those methodologies. The items described in this article may be of interest for teachers who want to train future software engineers.
