of teaching.1. IntroductionSkills such as communication, professionalism, ethics, and project management are notspecifically taught within the engineering graduate curriculum. These skills, referred to as softskills or professional skills, are often assumed to be acquired as a result of performing academictasks and “constant” communication with other graduate students and faculty members [1]. TheCanadian Association of Graduate Studies (CAGS) recognizes the duty and responsibility ofuniversities to train these soft skills. CAGS defines professional development as knowledge thatmust be provided along with practice and continuous coaching within the graduate programs [2].During their first year of graduate studies, many engineering students
