On-site visits with the healthcare organization were not possible.Despite the various distance technologies that are available, we feel it is difficult to reproduce thein-person student experience. Without interpersonal interaction, many of the soft skills are oftennot fully experienced by the students learning to conduct team-based senior design project viadistance settings.ConclusionsThe community-focused design project was different than a typical engineering senior designproject that focuses mostly on technical skills. The community-focused design project discussedin this paper focused on the technical skills as well as many soft skills such as communicationboth

Here are someways that our students and faculty have said they have grown with the Solar Decathlon: • How to sell a story • Learning how to get architecture and engineering students to work together • Increasing their ability for proactive planning and research • Growing their own agency and confidence • Finding external partners

ResearchFoundation, National Electrical Contractors Association, Associated Builders and Contractors,National Constructors Association, and American Road Builders Association.Construction programs are often influenced by their development and history. Programs thatoriginated from architecture or engineering often carry a design-heavy structure, while programswith industrial technology backgrounds include more hands-on applications [6, 7]. The industry'sexpectations also play an essential role in shaping the educational content, including thetechnical, managerial, and soft skills [8-11]. In 1998, Rosso conducted a study to review thecurrent status of four-year construction education programs and highlighted the evolvingapproaches and the distinct programs of

The Autonomous Robot Competitionrewards technical performance, while the other two competitions rely on excelling in bothtechnical and professional skills. This finding supports the hypothesis that female engineeringstudents value professional skills or “soft-skills” more than their male counterparts [19].Entrepreneurial thinking course competitions seem to attract more female students and may behelpful to encourage and retain women in engineering programs.Since the competition is part of a class and not external, students that might be distracted bycompetitions, focused on their coursework since they are aligned.

Consequently,education, when designed to prepare students for the real world must also prepare them todevelop their social awareness and abilities and acquire a clear sense of professional values inorder to develop and to sustain successful, healthy relationships with those with whom they workand with those they seek to serve. Unfortunately, such “soft skills” are often given short shrift in the undergraduate curriculum[3]. As a 2015 study by Garibay suggests, it seems that within engineering and related fields, thisstrong focus on technical knowledge, and

Combinedwith a growing "silver tsunami” retirement and “Great Resignation” of skilled workers and thelack of a curricular emphasis on applied learning in some sectors [1] and we have now reachedcrisis level in a much-reduced pool of highly skilled, manufacturing-ready engineers available tomanufacturers.In addition to technical aptitude, there is growing demand from industry for engineeringgraduates to be equipped with professional or “softskills and abilities [1], [2]. “Moreover,engineers have recently begun to incorporate considerations such as sustainability

The results suggest that internships can improveemployability and provide a mechanism to obtain permanent jobs, as interns are predicted to becreative workers instead of “learning to labor.” They also reported that there was a small labormarket for undergraduates who possessed the necessary soft skills. The stress on soft skillsindicates a change in the character of ICT work, which has implications for the worker’seducation within this sector by linking employability to specific labor processes.3.

technical course.The era of the “engineering technician” started to decline as more and more two-year graduateswere tasked with becoming field technicians that were required to maintain technical systems inthe field or were involved with the manufacturing process and final test of products in anindustrial environment (i.e. production technicians). In a manner similar to how four-year collegeprograms reacted, the technical education community at the two-year college level started toembrace similar elements of the Scans report [15] (usually, problem solving skills and life-longlearning) with efforts to infuse these so-called “soft skills” within the technology curriculum.

Whether the individual remains at one company,or they change companies throughout their work career – through experiences there are threecharacteristics that are critical for continued growth and success in industry. These characteristicsare:Characteristics 1. Intelligence – the ability to be analytical, the ability to apply knowledge, and theability to acquire new knowledgeCharacteristic 2. Integrity - being honest, high morals and adherence to ethicsCharacteristic 3. Soft Skills – ability to communicate with a wide range of individuals from engineersto non-engineers, and

change in value of training from the private sector.An unspoken concept in STEM is its relation to business management. Involving business maybe a faux pa at the secondary level, but it strengthens competencies. An aspiring chemist, forexample, who studies industry trends may be of more value, especially at the doctorate level [34]and learning to read business information resources also improves research and literacy skills –that same chemist who knows about Porter’s Five Forces Model demonstrates aninterdisciplinary focus and a further degree of ambition. Students who learn an extended-level ofSTEM skills better appreciate what they themselves do for their industries.Furthermore, soft-skills are also noted as a significant benefit. A recent

On the other hand, architecture studentsonly start to do collaborative work in their last semesters. At the beginning they only carry outindividual work with the intention to develop their own their personal design knowledge. Theprojects that are carried out in groups are of a maximum of 4 people compared to civilengineering where you can find teams of 5 to 6 participants.

Male and female students may have varying projectexperiences due to differing levels of confidence, self-efficacy, difficult team dynamics, orinequitable task division [24, 25]. Teams are not immune to the societal stereotype where menare seen as engineering “experts.” In these cases, women’s perspectives on engineering projectteams may not be valued. Women are frequently tasked with "soft-skill" assignments such asorganizational roles including taking notes and scheduling [26]. Similarly, while Hirshfield [25]found no statistically significant gender differences in speaking times while on a team,stereotypical gender roles and behaviors were present.
