approach to assigning students to project teams for ayear-long, industry-sponsored senior capstone course. Successful assignment requires knowl-edge of at least individual project requirements, student skills, student personalities, andstudent project preferences. This mix of hard skills, soft skills, and interpersonal impres-sions requires human involvement to produce a high-quality assignment. The importance offaculty input often requires that the assignment process be labor- and time-intensive.Our approach attempts to reduce the time required to perform this assignment by selectivelyautomating parts of the task flow. An automated search uses a randomized greedy algorithmcombined with local optimizations to explore a large space of solutions

However, non-technical skills – the so-called professional skills –are increasingly seen as essential to the complete education of a modern engineer, thus leading tothese skills’ explicit delineation in ABET Criterion 3, Program Outcomes d, f, g, h, i, and j.1However, there has been considerable debate as to how such skills (sometimes less favorably Page 13.278.2referred to as “soft skills”) are most effectively taught and assessed.2A national survey of capstone courses in multiple engineering departments showed

Thus, it is important for current engineering students to be trained tocommunicate complex scientific concepts to various audiences, including those withoutscientific backgrounds [6]. An effective way to do this is through interesting/creative visuals thatcan be generated through software, for example. Therefore, engineers must now be able totranslate

Periodical feedback and intervention from mentors and facilitatorswas necessary to encourage students to keep pursuing their inquiries. Eventually, a successfulclass realizes that the focus of the class is not the content but the soft skills [16] of identifyingtheir learning process, thinking about their own thinking (i.e. metacognition) and personalengagement in the process of inquiry.

There is always room for improvement in soft skills…from this course, I have learned about corporate culture, personal growth, professional responsibilities, useful project management techniques, and property rights. I have already begun using the project management knowledge for my design team. From this course, I realized that culture awareness is very important. I never realized how important it is in the field of engineering until going through this course. This course also made me realized that much of the skills needed to be great engineers could only be gained with experiences
