Work in Progress: Introducing negotiating skills in capstone courseIntroductionEmployers of 21st century engineering and technical students are looking for individuals who inaddition to their technical skills, also possess soft skills. Those soft skills include at a minimumcommunication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills. Several studies have recommendedrevisions to existing engineering and technical curriculums to incorporate soft skills [1-3]. Inaddition to industry professionals indicating a desire for increased soft skills in graduates,students also see the need for additional exposure while in school [4]. Because there is no formaldefinition of soft skills, it is necessary to determine for each

needs. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Work in Progress: Integrating Writing throughout the Engineering CurriculumIntroductionCommunication skills continue to be a top ‘soft skill’ many employers consider weak, whileeducators believe engineering students possess strong communication skills upon graduation [1],[2]. In fact, in an ASME survey where 647 industry supervisors, 42 department heads, and 590early-career engineers responded to a question on mechanical engineering graduates strengthsand weaknesses, there was a discrepancy in how industry rated communication skills compare tothe other two groups [1]. Only 9% of the
