The main goal is to create multiple opportunities to teach and reinforcesoft skills within the regular technical curriculum in the high schools. This paper discussesthe integration of the soft skills modules into the technical curriculum developed viaexamples, and outlines its potential uses in this engineering department’s curriculumincluding its manufacturing engineering program. The paper concludes with a discussion ofthe implementation of this project and provides some preliminary feedback from theparticipating high schools and reflections of the authors.

interdisciplinary approach was incorporated in the curriculum that involved studentsidentifying problems in existing products to create new solutions. This involved dissection of anexisting product, carrying out functional decomposition to understand the functional relationshipsbetween component parts, identifying gaps in the design, and bridging gaps in the designs by eitherimproving the design or coming up with a new design. Given that students carried out theseactivities in groups, they developed teamwork skills, improved their communication skills, andenhanced their critical thinking skills. A photovoice reflection survey and a set of open-endedquestions were used to evaluate the outcomes. Results showed that students were more motivatedto learn the

To determine how their perceived impact of the project on theirprofessional preparation has changed from when they took the class to now when they areworking professionals, we compare their recent responses to the responses in reflections theycompleted while taking the course. The information gathered in the survey also provides a meansto evaluate the effectiveness of the project and identify areas for improvement, which hasimplications for how similar projects might be designed and enacted in the future.

At the same time, another work [9] that takes a multidisciplinary approach provides a retrospective view of theevolution of low-code platforms, elucidating their strategic integration with ERP systems. It reflects on thehistorical progression from model-driven development to the current state where low-code platforms are essentialin enhancing business processes, fostering agility, and enabling

Ultimately, this paperaffords an opportunity for educators to expand on examples of how multiple disciplines cometogether in the tech/engineering workforce. Additionally, the paper implores engineers to engagein lifelong learning as they interact with increasingly multi-disciplinary teams in the workplace.BackgroundMost students who choose to major in engineering do so to become a part of the community ofpractice of professional engineers [1], meaning that they want their college experience to includeadequate exposure to what a career

The course redesign includes three main components: 1. Small group and whole-class discussions led by the instructor and supported by Equity Learning Assistants (ELAs), who are trained in equity pedagogy. These activities, typically once a week during a lab session, aim to make students aware of the societal implications of their engineering decisions and encourage them to critically evaluate data and technology within broader sociopolitical contexts.

Some of the challenges reported are consistent messaging, classhousekeeping, overlapping roles, the dominance of one discipline, loss of individual autonomy,and poor logistics [2], [5].This paper discusses a team-taught engineering course for pre-college students.
