addition, there is the problem of getting classroom assessment from facultywho are not in the engineering or technology department that is being accredited. In view ofthese problems, I believe that the technical courses in the curriculum should contribute to theteaching and assessment of the soft-skills. In particular, some of these topics can be taught usingmaterial that is germane to the technical course.I teach a course titled, “Electrical Power and Controls,” in the Electrical Engineering TechnologyProgram. It is a fourth-semester course and is required for all students in the program. Thiscourse has been described previously1, but it includes topics such as single and three-phasepower, power quality, basic magnetics, transformers, induction
