decision-making. This paperexamines how integrating the development of these professional skills into core engineeringsubjects—such as Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Electrical Circuits—can foster a morecomprehensive and holistic student education. Through the use of problem-based learning andreferencing real-world applications, the approach aims to enhance both technical knowledge andessential soft skills. The paper also explores alternative assessment methods that extend beyondtraditional exams to evaluate competencies crucial for professional success. By aligningengineering curricula with industry expectations, and supporting faculty development in this area,the study offers a framework for curriculum design that strengthens both

: (a) Respect and follow the stipulated rules (b) Act competently, honestly, and with integrity (c) Maintain and enhance the reputation of the profession Following the same pattern as before, we reframed the statements to highlight their relation to AI-supported learning without changing what information was being gathered, as follows: (a) I respect and follow the stipulated rules when using AI tools (b) I can act competently, honestly, and with integrity when using AI for computer science tasks (c) I believe the use of AI will help maintain and enhance the reputation of the computer science profession3. Mapping Soft Skills to Teaching Effectiveness The final factor in the original study was soft skills, which
