In a 2021 studysurveying 489 companies who employed engineers, Hirudayaraj et. al. [16] found that, of 26“softskills linked to career success, industry firms rated entry level engineers as beingproficient in only two of them (“global and cultural awareness” and “social responsibility”).

For engineers in particular, workers need to be able utilize andadvance technology, excel in the interdisciplinary nature of complex engineering problems,within interconnected digital spaces, make decisions, and be versed in ‘soft skills’ required forcollaboration and communication.Traditionally, undergraduate and graduate engineering education has been siloed according todisciplinary departments. Students navigate their education through a series of courses intendedto prepare them via methods and tools that define the discipline. This approach is based largelyon 20th-century needs. While team-based and project-based

They depended on their intellectualastute and bicultural adaptability and utilized pragmatic and creative problem-solving skills andother soft skills, which are often considered as lacking among typical engineering students. Mostimportantly, they showed an unwavering commitment to their engineering career andprofessional success. For example, Calvin admitted that he had a
