Because of this particular students’ decision to stay on and try harder he began to open up about his fears and concerns about transferring to a four year university. During a session of field work this student asked: “How hard are other courses and how do they compare to this course?” This question started a conversation about work ethic and how much effort would be needed to succeed in an engineering curriculum at university. The instructors expressed that it would not come easily and would need a high level of commitment. Also we expressed that there would be set backs and times where they would like to give up

. Introduction A quote by John Reinert, an engineering manager at Aeroflux Microelectronics inColorado Springs, CO states, “The soft skills are just as important the engineering skills.” Thisstatement has been proven to be true for companies of all sizes, particularly for small startups,which employ a large percentage of engineers who graduate from various schools. This isbecause at a small startup company that is trying to make in-roads into a new market, using thesesoft skills are extremely important. The technical skills are the defining skills and the soft skillsare the enabling skills. These soft skills include: Oral and written presentation skills, ethics,interpersonal skills, understanding globalization, how to function on teams as well

A project-based approach3-11 has beenconsidered as one of the most effective ways and has been implemented in different courses.More specifically, capstone design courses8-11 were notably preferred among these courses. Thiswas because engineering students were required to synthesize their knowledge learned through awhole undergraduate curriculum, and apply their skills in senior designs

Other elements of studying, such as the amount of time spent reading thetextbook or working on scratch paper, are not captured by the digital pens we use. However, webelieve that the amount of time spent problem solving on homework provides a useful measureof a student’s effort in a course.The results of the linear regression analysis of the overall-effort features indicate that students’effort does account for a considerable portion of the
