have identified thatdesirable attributes of an engineer include good communication skills, high ethical standards, theability and self-confidence to adapt to rapid or major change, the ability to work ininterdisciplinary teams and a profound understanding of the importance of teamwork [4]. In theRIOT team surveys, "Political Skill" (described in the next section) measures these competenciesin the individual differences surveys.We hypothesized that explicitly addressing these "soft topics" before the capstone teams wereformed would increase student awareness of their importance and provide specific tools to helpwith self-management and team cohesion.

Yet, thepressure to be the upholders of cultural practices in engineering can interrupt the cultivation oftheir emerging identities that integrate politics with engineering. Students should be afforded aspace where they can co-create meaning between their emerging identities and, introspectively,synthesize a transparent view of the ethical role and relationship that engineering has to society.Our work begins to highlight some of the challenges of pushing against the current culture ofengineering and re-politicizing the engineering
