Of less importance were depth and breath ofengineering science indicating that the new curriculums will need to emphasize the “softerskills.” Recent graduates attribute prioritization were nearly identical to their supervisors whichfurther reinforces the relative importance of the attributes previously indicated

Typically, these students enter college fiveto fifteen years later than the traditional students, work full time in industry, and invest five to tenyears earning an A.S. degree. For instance, they pick up well on the career implications of mostethical dilemmas. They bring to the classroom an appreciation for the pressures in the industrialworld and the methods used to cope with them. The younger students, in general, try to follow atypical textbook approach in their course of action, and then come up with a solution, which,although correct in theory, sometimes would not go over well in a real
