Before launching the program in Fall 2022, the CoP facilitators and supervisors engagedin comprehensive planning sessions to determine the most critical tools and skills to be taughtduring the community sessions, as well as opportunities to practice these skills. They alsodeveloped facilitator rubrics to evaluate the community members' competencies. These rubrics,given in Appendix A, organized the hard and soft skills of each tool area associated with each ofthe aforementioned outcome goals into 5-point Likert scales. Following the

efforts and the successes and challenges encountered as we work toaddress business research needs in the engineering curriculum.Introduction and Literature ReviewThe teaching of business competencies to engineering students is exploding in engineeringeducation due to a variety of factors. First, there is a critical need to develop professional skills,including leadership, communication and teamwork, and capabilities for “real-world”engineering design and operations, along with learning the core math, science, and technicalaspects of engineering [1], [2]. Interviews and surveys of early-career engineers revealed notonly technical skills were needed but also skills for industry, like complex project managementand soft skills, that newcomers had to

This was coupled with feedback from the department’sindustrial advisory board (IAB) which regularly reviews students’ senior design projects in thefall (mid-project) and spring (project conclusion). Also, a survey was conducted of recent alumnias to their experiences and confidence before and after the senior design course. These inputs todesigning the junior-level course suggested that although students had exposure and experiencewith teamwork, oral and written communication, and a variety of so-called soft skills, they feltless confident in their ability to drive and control hardware using programing and in their makermechanical skills. This was true regardless of their concentration

developing technical knowledge and interpersonalskills [2]. For example, it is recognized that the humanities have played little or no role inengineering courses [3], and most institutions deliver these curricula through differentdepartments/faculties/schools. Most STEM curriculums emphasize technical knowledge withoutconcern for the social implications or the historical and social contextualization of science andtechnology in our modern world and our shared global past. This has led to the development ofpedagogical approaches designed to promote the training of engineering students as specialists intheir narrow disciplines while relegating the study of humanities to the “soft skills” involved ininterpersonal relationships [2].The humanities ground

Students’ ways of thinking can be positively changed, andthey can learn soft skills (e.g. interpersonal skills and teamwork) much better. The results suggest that it ispromising for student learning outcomes might be better since students’ engagement is high and they had apositive experience when we use bio-inspired projects to connect theory, practice, and application.6.2 Summary of Main
