Of particular concern were the so-called “soft skills,” such as teamwork,communications skills, global perspectives, ethics, life-long learning, and contemporary issues.Assessment of these can be difficult at best, particularly when it comes to triangulating results;i.e., providing more than one method of assessing the outcomes. While some members of thefaculty desired to leave the soft skills to the students’ humanities and social science courses, thatwas not a practical solution for our program because there is a wide variety of

The second survey, very similar to the first,was given to practicing engineers attending an ASCE continuing education seminar.
