This survey included a series of questions, also used a five-point Likert scale, thatasked how being a coach helped the student to prepare for their future career and to developtechnical and soft skills. Both surveys are still collecting data that will be presented during thepresentation at the annual meeting.Prior to implementing the formal assessment instrument in the spring 2023 semester, theeffectiveness of the coaches was assessed informally during mid-semester evaluations and finalcourse evaluations. The questions related to the coaches were more qualitative, asking forgeneral feedback. The most common responses from the students were (i) they were able toanswer questions, (ii) easy

Thefirst is the obvious benefit of a liberal arts education to the engineering student [15]. Whileadvances in knowledge and technology are creating excitement in science and engineeringeducation, tomorrow’s engineer must also be able to write and communicate well; considerethics and social responsibilities; understand business; and live and work in teams as a globalcitizen. They must be able to think critically and problem-solve. The faculty of RMC pridesitself on producing graduates with all of these so-called “soft skills” as well as the breadth ofknowledge obtained by completing a large General Education

Methods An elective, two-semester course was offered by TTU WCOE—IE 4331: BiomedicalInnovation. The first semester (fall) prepared undergraduate students to identify, explore, andanalyze the authentic problem as well as develop soft skills necessary to effectivelycommunicate as team members. Team-based learning (TBL) was the instructional method usedto develop team communication, organize a specific sequence of individual and group work, andprovide immediate feedback and accountability for the learner [15].

Entry level applicants were most frequently not hired because oftheir poor soft skills that limited their success. For anyone looking towards machining as a career path, the implication is that it is importantto start with a formal training program. One of the most common paths is an associate degree ata community college, which gives the student the necessary skills to begin working as amachinist. With over half of the responding companies valuing a degree, completing collegeprior to employment will allow a new employee to quickly begin growing their skillset.

Secretary’s Commission on Necessary Skills (SCANS) surveyed industry to identifythe most important workforce skills [3]. The commission identified several skills includingcreativity, teamwork, budgeting skills, communication, leadership, project management, andseveral others. In education these are sometimes referred to as industry “soft skills.” They havebeen consolidated into the 4 Cs. The 4 Cs in education are collaboration, communication, criticalthinking and creativity skills [4]. Most preK-12 education is focused on content knowledgebecause it can be listed in standards and tested easily. Skill development is not as easy toobjectively test. As a result, there are no tests for the 4 Cs and they do not reside in academicstandards, and therefore
