In this report, the authors reviewed all current relevant publicationsand developed a list of technical and soft-skill competencies needed to be successful andproductive in Industry 4.0. The list of soft skills is similar to the other competencies sharedabove. In Table II we list all the identified technical competencies separated as engineering,business and design competencies.Table II: Engineering, Business and Design Elements of Industry 4.0Engineering Competencies Business Competencies Design CompetenciesData Science and advanced (Big Data) Technology awareness Understanding theanalysis impact of technologyNovel

Problem, gave the BHI Scholars an excellent understanding and appreciation of their engineering tasks at BHI. The BHI Scholars, during their internship, were treated with extra care because the students were viewed as having a longer term commitment.  The Scholars have learned a significant amount of knowledge and most importantly gained an appreciation for another field of engineering from each other through their work and communication in their interdisciplinary team.  Through several interdisciplinary opportunities, student have further enhanced their soft skills, especially ability to communicate and dialogue with people of other disciplines

TriMetrix® DNA in acombination of descriptive and multivariate methods and techniques that quantifiedspecific behavioral attributes and professional competencies found in entrepreneuriallyminded engineers [16]. The doctoral dissertation research of Dietrich (2012) was able toquantitatively distinguish between engineers and entrepreneurially minded engineers inboth behavior and mastery of professional skills in the workplace [17]. Research byPistrui et al. used the TTI TriMetrix® DNA assessment suite to define and establish ameasurement model of undergraduate engineering education learning outcomesassociated with professional competencies (soft skills) development [18].The authors used the TTI TriMetrix DNA assessment framework to analyze
