The participants scored each competency on a scale of 1-10, based on how satisfiedthey were with their ability in that area. The coach and participant then talked over the scoresand identified competencies to work on together. Subsequent meetings were organic in nature,as participant and coach together discussed current challenges or growth competencies, what

Yet much of the curriculum for studentsin engineering and design majors remains focused solely on science and mathematics without thenecessary extension of situating the design process in relevant social contexts [2]. Severalresearchers have reported on their efforts to consider social consciousness in the engineeringcurriculum. Examples include adding Socially

In a typical engineering education curriculum, criticalthinking is addressed effectively. Also, students develop their collaboration skills via project-basedcourses that have become increasingly widespread in engineering education in the last twodecades. Furthermore, communication skills are often addressed through the inclusion of atechnical communication course or by otherwise satisfying the communication component ofestablished general education requirements.
