The techniques used to motivatestudents to work on their writing and teamwork skills and then practice those skills are discussedin this paper along with their perceived success.II. Motivating the Reluctant Student via Student Interviews with Practicing EngineersIt is well documented that communication skills are one of key assets that employers want newgraduates to bring to the workplace.
