Research has pointed to a disconnect in the skills that employersdesire of engineering graduates and the skills that university coursework actually emphasize.Employers have been pushing for colleges and institutions to move beyond just “hardengineering” and prepare their students with a myriad of non-technical skills to best succeed inthe 21st century workplace.
