Some of the skills that these graduates lack are effectivecommunication and teamwork, both skills being of high value and importance in a job setting forengineers that have to work closely and collaboratively with fellow co-workers [1]. Whiletechnical expertise and knowledge have profound impacts on the skills employers look for whenhiring graduates, recently employers have started emphasizing the importance of skills such asintegrity, communication, and flexibility. The emergence of these skills is a result of theeconomic shift from an industrial to an information society [2]. This
