once for engineering as well.Challenges in Helping Students Improve Their Technical LiteracyAt community colleges, faculty do not receive reduced teaching load for participating in researchor extracurricular activities so their participation is on a voluntary base. Community collegefaculty also does not have graduate students and post docs to assist with supervisingundergraduate projects. Community college faculty are focused on teaching and are notencouraged to be involved in the kind of activities that MESA Center is offering. Some of thestudents’ limitations include weaknesses in soft skills such as time management, teamwork, andcommunications, make balancing of school requirements, MESA activities, family, and outsidejobs, a very difficult

. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 2020 ASEE Annual Conference and ExpositionConclusionHomework assignment frequency was tested across four courses. The results from this studysuggest that the objective gains from using daily homework assignments are modest. Non-traditional students appear to already possess the soft skills that such a strategy encourages, andthese students do appear to outperform their traditional counterparts and receive slightly moreconsistent benefits as a result. A higher frequency of homework assignments does greatly reducelate submissions, but a good percentage of these would-be late submissions appear to simplynever get turned in. However, students displayed more consistent time

For instance, using self-reported questionnaires among senior students ， Marques (2017) pointed out thatengagements in SDPs can strengthen students' soft skills like communication andpublic speaking [9]. Also, Xiong and Liu (2012) suggested that students whoparticipated in SDPs got their critical thinking and engineering design thinkingimproved [13]. In addition, applying self-efficacy scales, Dunlap (2005) measuredstudents' self-efficacy in a capstone environment.

This task provided an important element for professionaldevelopment for the students in the program, as they were participating in group discussions andpracticed to improve their career “soft” skills, like oral communication and collaborative,project-based learning skills [9].To address the outreach element of the program, special hands-on workshop series offeredtraining and exposure to various manufacturing techniques for advanced materials.

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].

Many students think of technical communication as a “soft skill”rather than a technical or professional skill.Here, we describe our experience using short written reflection assignments to scaffold a majorpresentation assignment in an Introduction to Technical Communication course that is requiredby most majors in the College of Engineering at the University of Washington.

I realized if I went back to school I could better meet that need, that gap that I think that the Navy lacked.Teamwork and Reliance on OthersOne common theme in the interviews was the participants’ strengths at projects involvingteamwork, and their ability to acknowledge the need to sometimes rely on others. This threadwas seen most strongly in those who were officers or enlisted personnel in the armed forces,although it also was apparent to some degree in the civilian employees of the military.Daniel spoke about how he worked with other people, both in his military service and ingraduate school.

masculine whilehumanities, social sciences, and “soft skills” such as communication and ethics are often seen tobe more feminine [20]. These patterns might explain why women entered the class more awareof social and environment issues and likely account for the women in our study being more opento a class about social justice, volunteering, and how engineering can be used to help others thanmen were (see also [20] for a discussion of men’s resistance to communication skills instructionin engineering). It is important to note, however, that socialization may not directly account forall aspects of how gender differences are expressed through student perceptions.
