We additionally askedthem to explain what interests and experiences drove them to become an engineer.In the following class session, they conducted a team gap analysis, placing a tick mark for eachperson who had each specific professional skill (additional areas focused on lifelong learning,ethics, problem solving, and technical competence). Students self-assessed whether theypossessed each skill, making this a binary choice (present/absent) for each member.
