physics were just a couple parts in the entirety of the big picture. Not only was Iable to gain more knowledge in Aerospace or Systems Engineering, I was also able to develop softskills such as networking and critical evaluation.”As noted by the student, the advantages of student involvement in research go far beyond gainingtechnical skills. Students can gain soft skills that are not typically taught in a school curriculum.These soft skills include interpersonal skills, communication skills, listening skills, timemanagement, problem-solving, leadership, and empathy, among others. These are some of the topskills that employers seeks in the candidates they hire because soft skills are important for justabout every job [8].What could be done to make

mentioned that more guidance and resources were needed to help them to improve their project report, especially on the solution design, safety risk assessment, and cost-benefit analyses, as well as on some non-technical skills, such as writing skills and research methods.In response to student feedback and drawing upon insights from the community cultural wealththeory and the pull learning strategy, the course was redesigned in 2023 fall semester,transitioning to a "student-centered" approach. The lecture topics comprise textbook topics andproject support, as shown in Table 3. Project support includes lectures specifically designed tohelp students with their projects, mainly focusing on soft skills, writing skills, and

Professors arefacilitators who provide guidance to students and encourage students to think and work throughthe problem. This process has been shown to increase student motivation, allowing them to applythe knowledge learned in engineering classes, in an interactive environment. Students get a chanceto discuss concepts with each other and collaborate on projects working towards a common goal– this is also representative of a real-world project. Hadim et. al. [4-7] suggest that project-basedlearning facilitates the development of many of the “soft skills” demanded from
