during the endurance event. The students in the past built Kevlar supported body panels to prevent piercing. 6. Have an understanding of the professional and ethical responsibilities. Each designer knows the ramifications of their designs since a fellow student will be operating the vehicle. Each team member also functions appropriately knowing that each information or data generated or recorded by them has to be the most accurate not only for safety but also for ethical responsibilities. 7. Have an ability to communicate effectively. The BAJA team members need to communicate verbally in the meetings and in the laboratories. They also may need to write memos and e

voice of customers and documenting their requirementsQFD begins with collecting the customer voices and incorporating them into the HOQ.An extensive online search for jobs related to manufacturing engineering were collectedusing websites such as yahoojobs.com, monster.com, careerbuilder.com. Thus obtainedjob descriptions were classified into knowledge, skills and working ethics as shown inTable 1. The data collected from these websites served as the base for externalcustomers’ voice which helped to initiate the HOQ for external customers. Table1.

speaking, etc.) skills are paramount for success of an individual. It does no matter how brilliant their ideas are if they cannot sell them. ● Communication. Management. Ethics. Morals. Motivation. Leadership. These are all extremely important for the engineering field. Being able to tackle issues both from a technical side AND business side sets individuals apart. ● US costs cannot compete with China (10:1 for tooling and piece price in most assemblies that include injection molded components). Even the importing only costs $6-8,000 per 40' container, door to door. Our only competitive advantage is technology and advanced manufacturing processes. Unfortunately, China is catching us at an alarming

programs in the 21st century. The reporthighlighted the importance of engineering students‟ soft skills in the highly competitive and fastchanging global world. These soft skills − also called professional skills 2 − includecommunication, teamwork, leadership, entrepreneurship, ethics, and so on. The report discusseda variety of approaches to providing students a broader engineering educational experience, forexample, dropping some of the existing traditional engineering curriculum (e.g., Fouriertransforms) in favor of material related to soft skills 1.Among highly desirable soft skill sets, entrepreneurship has received increasing attention inrecent years in the engineering education community due to its significant role in engineeringinnovation

Eachof these areas was seen as a critical ingredient contributing to the leadership capacity buildingprocess. Students used the data as a
