Table 5 shows the general lack ofconsensus as to the degree to which professional skills detract from technical content acrossengineering disciplines. Within this analysis, ANOVA indicated that Program Chairs andAssociate Deans showed no significant differences. Mechanical engineering faculty differedsignificantly from bioengineering/biomedical, civil, industrial, and electrical engineering at theα=0.05 level.

Briggs Personality Type Inventory. While these two tools provide students with useful insights about their personalities, behaviours and habits of mind, our findings suggest that engineering educators who use these tools with their students would be well advised to discuss them as temporally-contextualized orientations rather than immutable categories. If they can critically examine these two typologies and expose students to multiple ways of influencing, supporting and relating to their colleagues, the next generation of engineers will learn the value and practice of flexibility while opening themselves to qualitatively diverse forms of professional development. 2) If it proves to be the case that female
