With the increase in globalization and the fast-paced 1nature of the technology industry, it has become imperative that students not only learn essentialengineering skills, or hard skills, but also professional, or soft skills, as outlined by A. Patil [3].In laboratory settings, where students are expected to physically solve a problem, the experienceof communicating with peers and building

Fundamental technical content takes up the bulk of the typical undergraduate engineeringcurriculum, leaving little room for a course that would focus on both the hard and soft skills ofproject management. However, the importance of developing engineering students’ projectmanagement skills should not be discounted. Standard practice is to include a one or twosemester design project for senior engineering students, often referred to as the capstone course.Such courses are an ideal forum for providing project

Experiential learning often entails group work, interactionwith technical equipment, and collaboration with individuals outside of our campus. These typesof activities have become more difficult as we’ve entered an era of social distancing, remotelearning, and other COVID-19 safety protocols.These teaching and learning strategies are being employed and assessed both inside and outsideof the classroom. One approach from outside the classroom is student participation in inter-university design competitions which provides opportunities for hands-on, team-based workwhich motivates and enhances soft skills development [1], [5].

The incorporation of what arecommonly termed “soft skills” in engineering curriculum, including teamwork, communication,ethics, and social consciousness, were soon considered a necessity. Engineering coursework hadalready garnered a reputation as being content-heavy, so innovative and unique

For example, a Hispanic/Latina industrial engineering graduatestudent noted that because she was an honors student, a tennis player, and worked, she “learnedto organize and manage my time and your tranquility in a cost-effective way to achieveeverything successfully.” This participant aligned her skills and identity to match normativeengineering skillsets, so she developed
