According to [12], this framework has been used by other researchers buta further research work was done to develop a proposed framework for soft skill application inlinear programming using PBL activity sequence. The author stated that, the PBL activitysequence proposes a feedback loop that allows the students to learn as they work using a setmetric and rubric to assess each work stage. LP integration with PBL is grounded in the desire toafford students with authentic and real-world solving experiences that helps to bridge traditionalpractice knowledge providing a systematic approach for modeling and solving decision makingproblems [12

. This paper describes the authors’approach to teaching two hybrid software project courses which make use of flipped classroommodels that rely on active learning and the use of authentic assessment practices (e.g., reflectivewriting and peer assessment).Active LearningEngineering educators regard experiential learning as the best way to train the next generation ofengineers [4]. It is reasonable to believe that the soft skills practiced in active learningclassrooms can improve the capabilities software engineering students and better prepare themfor their capstone projects [5].

The employability ofengineering students today depends on more than just using their technical abilities; in order toeven secure part-time employment and progress in their careers, they also require complementaryprofessional abilities or soft skills [2], [3], [4]. These professional skills include the capacity forinitiative, teamwork, communication, planning and organization, and commercial acumen [5], [6],[7].

Engineering Criteria, as well as various other accreditation models [2]. When reshapingcontemporary engineering education, several elements deserve attention. These decisions areinfluenced by evolving industry needs and societal context. Interdisciplinary learning, integratingfields like data science and entrepreneurship, is crucial for holistic problem–solving. Soft skills suchas communication, teamwork, and leadership are essential for effective collaboration [3].Notably, the emphasis on the evaluation of students' engagement and performance through moderntechnological means, including the analysis of facial expressions, signifies a substantial evolution inengineering education.

Additionally, studentsreported that the ethical concerns involved in the development and application of technologieslike AI is often not included in curricula or is viewed as “soft skills” that are not as important as“technical” knowledge. Although some students we interviewed shared the sense of apathytoward these topics that they see from their engineering program, most were eager to receivemore training in AI ethics. These results underscore the pressing need for engineering educationprograms, including graduate programs, to integrate comprehensive ethics

Learning hasalso been shown to improve students’ confidence, school engagement, and mental health(Greenberg et al., 2017). Additionally, students tend to benefit long-term and are better preparedfor higher education, more successful in their careers, and more engaged citizens (Greenberg etal., 2017). Tumaini students appear to reap many of these benefits: they felt that they were a partof a supportive community and that they learned a lot about themselves such as how to controltheir emotions, how to be comfortable with themselves, and how to express themselves.

However, the results demonstrated a gap in perceptions of the hard skills betweenemployers and students. Prior work experience and solid construction core skills and knowledgeare both ranked in the least 5 important qualities by employers, but they are ranked relatively highby students (ranked number 7 and 6, respectively). This discrepancy suggests a misalignmentbetween what students perceive as important for their professional development and the actualindustry expectations.
