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

Research conducted by Kliegeret al. in 2017 concluded that for United States citizens, “the average standardized test scores ofWhite and Asian examinees have generally exceeded the average scores of Black and Hispanicexaminees by at least one half to a full standard deviation [5].” This seems to support the claimmade by Groeger in 1998 who indicated that a “sample of 4,248 first-year graduate studentsshowed that 96% of the Black applicants indicated
