Bringing real-world problems into the classroom via capstone problems and other hands- on exercises is not only the most effective way to spark interest in engineering, but also teaches soft skills like problem solving and collaboration. 3. With so much screen time on mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices, engaging with students and incorporating soft skills into lesson plans is very difficult. 4. Internships and paid employment are great opportunities and motivators. However, a strong, skills-focused program can easily mold future engineers as well.Faculty
