engineering students think that their engineering knowledge would be sufficient for their careers, but many also don't take soft skills like decision-making seriously because they don't know what employers are looking for [13].  Class size and curriculum overload: Studies also show that instructors find it difficult to include assignments that incorporate such soft skills in their already very content- heavy courses. Additionally, most lectures have an average class size of 100 students, which dramatically reduces how well they learn such skills [14].However, courses on decision-making and leadership are major modules in managementstudies which does not overlap with engineering education currently. So, it

Itis thought that for a nation or company to be more competitive and to develop solutions to morechallenging problems, engineers need to be more than just technically competent; they need to beable to be innovative, creative, and willing to take risks.Recognizing the importance of this goal, the author has modified a design project which is usedin a senior-level technical elective course on
