program. McAlexander, McCance, Blanchard, and Venditti, [33]examined internships in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, i.e.,integrating placements into degree education. The results suggest that internships can improveemployability and provide a mechanism to obtain permanent jobs, as interns are predicted to becreative workers instead of “learning to labor.” They also reported that there was a small labormarket for undergraduates who possessed the necessary soft skills. The stress on soft skillsindicates a change in the character of ICT work, which has implications for the worker’seducation within this sector by linking employability to specific labor processes.3.

technical course.The era of the “engineering technician” started to decline as more and more two-year graduateswere tasked with becoming field technicians that were required to maintain technical systems inthe field or were involved with the manufacturing process and final test of products in anindustrial environment (i.e. production technicians). In a manner similar to how four-year collegeprograms reacted, the technical education community at the two-year college level started toembrace similar elements of the Scans report [15] (usually, problem solving skills and life-longlearning) with efforts to infuse these so-called “soft skills” within the technology curriculum. Inany case, during the period preceding the Internet age, both two-year

These positions included engineering, fleet reliability & operations, andtechnician positions in the onshore and offshore wind industry. These interviews allowed theparticipants to see the various roles involved in the wind industry and improve their soft skills forfuture interviews.Program FeedbackThe RESC surveyed the participants both before and after their respective sessions. Before theirsession, the participants communicated their expectations and any concerns they might have priorto the program's start—many expressed interests in learning about how wind turbines function andperforming hands-on tasks.

Topics like technical writing and oral presentation are not commonly perceivedby students to be in the domain of engineering while most practicing engineers would disagree[1]. Communication skills are just one example of a range of professional skills outside ofdiscipline-specific skills that can aid new engineering graduates.

For them, trainingis the way to improve the female technical force, also assuming the mining company has an attractivewage equity policy.

On the other hand, architecture studentsonly start to do collaborative work in their last semesters. At the beginning they only carry outindividual work with the intention to develop their own their personal design knowledge. Theprojects that are carried out in groups are of a maximum of 4 people compared to civilengineering where you can find teams of 5 to 6 participants. Working in bigger groups helpsindividuals know how to manage and organize people when carrying out collaborative work.Universities should stimulate individuals to cooperate with each other not only as a tool for thedevelopment of effective teamwork but

Project-based learning is an effective instructional technique thatimproves students' motivation and self-efficacy [16]. Some attributes of a project-based learning 2approach include a driving question, participation in educational activities, collaboration amongstudents, and the creation of tangible artifacts [17].

Male and female students may have varying projectexperiences due to differing levels of confidence, self-efficacy, difficult team dynamics, orinequitable task division [24, 25]. Teams are not immune to the societal stereotype where menare seen as engineering “experts.” In these cases, women’s perspectives on engineering projectteams may not be valued. Women are frequently tasked with "soft-skill" assignments such asorganizational roles including taking notes and scheduling [26]. Similarly, while Hirshfield [25]found no statistically significant gender differences in speaking times while on a team,stereotypical gender roles and behaviors were present. Furthermore, women often foundthemselves have to display more

These gendered stereotypes have important consequences; studieshave shown that non-technical or “soft” skills are often used as support for promoting womeninto management positions and out of technical roles, furthering the negative stereotypes relatedto women’s technical skills [56].
