Often thesenontechnical skills do not receive as much emphasis in undergraduate engineeringeducation and instead must be learned on the job, learning "soft skills the hard way" 2.Opportunities do exist in current engineering curricula to better integrate the developmentof these nontechnical skills into students' experience.

Her doctor- ate research at UC Berkeley investigated the applicability of seismic isolation and supplemental viscous damping to nuclear power plants with focus on seismic resilience and safety. The work identified isolation parameters for the optimization of design to produce high performance levels of both structural response and secondary systems. After receiving her PhD, Dr. Wong began a

The intent was to reinforce the importanceof written communication in every aspect of engineering.Encourage External Research - Each project assignment included some undefined parametersthat required the students to assess what information was missing and to make reasonableassumptions based and cited sources. For example students were asked to design a system thatwould be “safe” to operate by high school students. They had to assess what risks might resultfrom their design and justify how they chose the limits, such as maximum velocity of the crashsled.Encourage Open-Ended Problem Solving and Critical Thinking - The students wererepeatedly told that there is no correct answer to each problem.
