information needed to assess the current curriculum. Learning assessments atthe college level are difficult to obtain; primarily because the learning that takes place at thepost-secondary level is more than data and facts, but also patterns of thinking and conceptualinformation. Some students can apply the theories to contextual settings and some cannottranslate learning to action.Some educators believe that the emphasis and thus the courses required in college-leveleducation must be dominated by each student’s specific field of study, such as computerprogramming, medicine, etc. Others, including many people in the business world, would like tosee more emphasis on soft skills in areas such as business etiquette, communication, andprofessionalism

These important skills include leadership, composure under uncertainty,critical thinking, creativity, group work, task division, time management, literature searches andforward thinking. We believe that the introduction of high degrees of uncertainty into thelaboratory serves as a tool to prepare the students for a rapidly changing industrial world.Introduction The evolution of Chemical Engineering historically has been driven by changingindustrial needs and by research developments in a broad spectrum of areas. Some of therelatively young areas of Chemical Engineering include semiconductors and microelectronics

Thus,based on the asynchronous nature of the knowledge acquisition phase in FC modalities, the useof student design teams for creative problem solving fortifies learning with constructive andinteractive components. Employing these distinct learning activities can espouse the benefits ofactive vs. passive environments, whereby interactive modes can increase learner engagement [5,6]. Moreover, collaborative learning activities have been shown to deliver benefits of higherachievement, more confidence in learning, and increased critical thinking capabilities, whilesimultaneously elevating soft skills [7, 8].

Awell-developed plan accounting for faculty support, active learning, and development of “soft”skills is vital to successful implementation.Introduction Although the terms “sustainable / sustainability” and “sustainable development” are notnew concepts, their definition, applications and implementation have been highly debated andmodified over the years, especially in the construction industry. New data is constantly beinglearned about the sources and effects to the built environment and society from constructionrelated activities and the most labor, material, and cost effective manner in which to addressthem.

Due to above reasons, the employability levels of theengineering graduates drastically deteriorated over the past years. To address this problem,the micro–project was introduced in every course, from the first to the last semester in this‘Competency–Focused OBC’. As the students move to higher semesters undertaking thedifferent types of micro–projects, some of the social skills and attitudes (see section 3.1)which are ‘embedded’ in the micro–projects also get developed. This is due to the‘repeatability’ factor which is the key to any skill development. The ‘soft skills’ are alsoacutely required by the

Whenimplemented well, problem-based learning mirrors both the technical skills and the soft skillsrequired in environmental engineering jobs. These soft skills such as teamwork, argumentation,communication, listening, time management and meeting deadlines are often overlooked intraditional engineering lecture courses1.
