otherwise.Select responses are given: “The meetings were useful for learning about the soft skills of undergraduate school such as resume building, applying for graduate school, and getting funding for graduate school.” “Not only did we learn valuable professional skills, but these sessions served as a way to debrief about research progress.” “The variety of career development and research skills resources i[s] unparalleled.”This detachment causes several disadvantages for students applying for graduate school orindustry jobs. Students may struggle receiving interviews or may interview only to beunprepared for the process. This may cause technically competent students to have difficultyattaining future

career in academia or industry, including the developmentof soft skills and increased confidence to articulate their technical ideas and knowledge. This approachcan be further extended to all STEM fields to enhance learner engagement in research-based tasks andincrease learning outcomes relating to creative and professional activities. Our results based on an IRB-approved survey indicate that 81% of the participants strongly agreed or agreed that attending the paneldiscussions increased their understanding of research topics related to the course materials. Furthermore,94% of the survey responders strongly agreed or agreed that working on a capstone report helped thembetter understand the process of creating a research paper, while 75% of the

competent.Students agree that this course helps them practice and improve the ABET Student outcomes.We assess their technical and soft skills using different rubrics and also compare the grades withresults from subsequent years. Even when the course has been recently developed, we find thatthere is a trend between the grades of different courses. The tendency shows that if students areproficient in this project course, they will do better in further theoretical courses.IntroductionA critical goal of an engineering program should be to expose students to state of the art andemerging technologies in order for them to achieve and develop all the skills and abilitiesrequired in industry. Today, easy access of information and knowledge through the internet
