the online survey, and qualitative analysis of transcripts of follow-upphone interviews with 13 women and 4 men were performed.Through the application of grounded theory to transcripts, supported by statistical analysis ofdata from the online survey, it was deduced that increased confidence and preparedness in futureendeavors was the core category that linked individuals’ tutoring experiences. Participantsreported that relationships developed with tutees, fellow tutors, and faculty mentors during theirtutoring experiences impacted them beyond their experiences as tutors. Participants reportedimproved soft skills, including communication, teamwork, and leadership, and strengthenedacademic abilities, which resulted from a deeper understanding

lot aboutcommunication and collaboration. This was unexpected but definitely a good experience”).Although the summer internship occurred in an applied context, notably, smaller gains were alsoseen in these same skills in an academic setting according to survey data. This suggests that soft-skill gains in an applied setting may carry forward into the classroom.When examining data by program site, we find that self-efficacy and soft skills gains wererelatively lower (though still present) for the Silicon Valley site. In some cases, this may in partresult from a participant selection bias in Silicon Valley. For instance, Silicon Valley participantson average show greater self-efficacy at the program start relative to those from the other

Inherent in this endeavor is the belief that inter-personal communication and other “soft skills” can be taught, a perspective shared by others,such as those working to foster empathy in engineering courses [15].Capstone course structureThe first author is a civil engineering faculty member at the University of the Pacific where thecivil engineering capstone course is completed in one semester during the senior year, usuallyfollowing the mandatory co-op experience. Students work in teams and take on one of thefollowing roles: structural designer, geotechnical designer, water resources designer, orenvironmental designer. Each team has a
