Thiscontemporary subject nicely couples traditional chemical industry operations (e.g. distillationand absorption) with important processes that are used frequently in other industries that hire ourgraduates (e.g. enzymatic reactions and fermentation processes). Therefore, we are now able toprovide a more realistic, comprehensive and contemporary educational experience to all of ourundergraduate students.

Research studies have shown that semester-long courses(16 weeks) are the most effective formats for preparing GTAs to teach in engineering and computerscience [7]. Nevertheless, for these courses to be effective, they must offer GTAs opportunities tolearn, apply, and reflect on different teaching practices so they develop competencies associatedwith the TPACK domains.

Participation inmultidisciplinary courses also assists students in developing many skills that are highly valued inthe workforce. Among these are hard skills such as management skills, reporting and writing skills,problem-solving skills, and soft skills such as communication, curiosity, empathy, and teamwork[8].

The information from industry that was mostfrequently mentioned by faculty was related to modifying the curriculum to include soft skills,(e.g., communication skills, teamwork, presentation skills) or to amplify the curriculum’s focuson technical skills, such as accurately summarizing data. Another industry message thatresonated with many faculty was the importance of student internships and that GPA matters lessthan having real world skills and work experience. Almost one-third of the faculty also focusedon a specific message from industry about preparing students for interviews.

the use of symbols (words). Strongcommunication (professional) skills are clearly linked to being an effective leader [8].Research shows that a gap between employer expectations and university beliefs aboutemployability has been steadily growing for the last decade. Employers agree thatcommunication and teamwork, so-called ‘soft’ skills, provided more professional andorganizational value than hard skills such as technical expertise [8]. The value asymmetry is dueto training capacity—organizations can train new employees on-site with necessary technicalprotocols, but few have time to train new recruits in developmental communication skills [9].Employers’ perspectives should inform curricular development, and there are real pedagogical

In general, teamwork is viewed as an essential means to support thedevelopment of important durable professional skills [8, 9]. Notably, demonstrations of theability to communicate and collaborate effectively within a team are requirements for completinga post-secondary program of study in engineering [10]. Team-based design projects, specifically,are used as a pedagogical tool because they approximate professional conditions and offeremerging engineers opportunities to develop soft skills in the process of applying engineeringknowledge and skills.

Third, do our students know how to express their opinions in a meeting, write areport, make a presentation, work in a team, and finally, know about ethics and compliance?Further studies could explore an updated analysis of key competencies (from industry andacademics) used in capstone simulations; and a broad study on construction students' writingand soft skills perceptions and performance.
