Finally, ifcollaboration is the engine, the teachers’ ability to manage teamwork and motivate studentsthrough failures was the lubricant.

From the independent raters’ perspectives, they can only suggest areas tobe looked at, but not precisely which course in the curriculum or rather which content in a courseneeds improvement in instructional delivery. In addition, the following are the challenges weface if the GR assessment model were to be implemented: • Owing to limited resources, multi-raters are not a practical approach for our program. It is difficult to form independent raters who have the necessary subject-matter expertise to evaluate students’ work in core engineering subjects.

This tendency to dichotomizeengineering skills in terms of hard/soft or technical/professional also drives perceptions of what“counts” as engineering.

For this project,professional skills, often referred to as “soft skills,” include a variety of competencies such ascommunication, teamwork, professional and ethical responsibility, and more as determined byABET and delineated in the results of this paper. Unlike technical skills, professional skills takemore time to develop and sharpen [3]. Additionally, they are not as amenable to course-basedlearning often due to their “untestable” nature.

Historically, amajor deterrent for women considering STEM has been lower levels of math self-assessment [8],though recent studies suggest that this is becoming less important for persistence [12], [13]. Forinstance, researchers found that students’ have broadened their perception of the skills required inCS [13] with more awareness of the non-technical or “soft” skills, such as reliability and teamwork,that are sought by employers [29].
