didn't really know that other people weren't developing those skills, and also didn't realize the value that those soft skills have in a professional environment. In engineering school, you spend all this time learning the math and science, and then when you get to a real job, that's maybe 50% of your work. And the other 50% is working with people and resolving conflict. […] So, I consider it a really valuable learning experience now. (Erin)Along the same lines, Chris shared: I don't think I realized at the time essentially most of what I'm saying now in terms of the benefit of stakeholder involvement, of customer discovery interviews, of really having a partner in development.

andhelping younger students learn more about different disciplines. For programs that involveyounger facilitators, such as college students, there is less of a generation gap between studentparticipants and the facilitators. This smaller age gap can be advantageous because the K-12student participants may relate more to facilitators who are closer in age (Aguayo, 2018).In addition to helping student participants learn new information and skills, these programs alsohelp facilitators grow and develop. For example, outreach programs help undergraduate andgraduate students gain professional development experience and develop both technical skillsand soft skills including communication and presentation skills.

IntroductionMechanical engineering programs often offer introductory engineering courses (MechanicalEngineering 101 or Engineering 101) for their first-year students to provide a broadunderstanding of engineering principles, practices, professions, and problem-solving skills [16].These courses tend to incorporate hands-on group activities, fostering active engagement withthe discipline and honing crucial soft skills like communication and teamwork. Unlike otherlower-division mechanical engineering courses, such as Statics and Dynamics, the content ofthese introductory engineering courses exhibits notable variation across programs, some areproject-based others focus more on giving students an idea of what engineers do with guestspeakers and field trips.
