These skills, referred to as softskills or professional skills, are often assumed to be acquired as a result of performing academictasks and “constant” communication with other graduate students and faculty members [1]. TheCanadian Association of Graduate Studies (CAGS) recognizes the duty and responsibility ofuniversities to train these soft skills. CAGS defines professional development as knowledge thatmust be provided along with practice and continuous coaching within the graduate programs [2].During their first year of graduate studies, many engineering students

However, developingimpactful and effective programs remains a challenge primarily due to a lack of institutionalresources and challenges securing faculty buy-in.While active learning is widely used in technical training, its application in graduate professionalskills development remains limited.

successful interactions and learning outcomes.1-3 One important challenge centers onthe interactions between students from groups negatively stereotyped as poor performers inengineering (e.g., women and under-represented racial minorities) and others. A body of researchin psychology indicates that students from these marginalized groups may have qualitativelydifferent group work experiences compared to others, which may contribute to their self-selection from engineering and thus their group’s under-representation in engineering fields.Recent research suggests that the negative experiences of people from marginalized groups onengineering student design teams can influence many factors that contribute to persistence andsuccess, such as development of
