and Assessing ABET “Soft Skills” in the Technical CurriculumAbstractTAC-ABET accreditation requires that each program develop program outcomes that embraceABET criteria 2a to k. Several of those, such as diversity, internationalization, and ethics, areoften referred to as the soft skills. Generally students exposure to these items is through theirelective (or required) courses in the humanities and social sciences. However, ABETaccreditation also requires that the achievement of the outcomes be assessed and evaluated.Obtaining direct evidence of achievement of the outcomes by the students can be problematicalas the other departments may not be doing assessment.

What is lessexpected is the significant importance of innovation interests and innovation self-efficacy for engineering studentsinterested in creating societal impact. Deeper exploration reveals that certain academic experiences and proximalinfluences have a direct and significant effect on a student’s interest in impact-driven work, and this relationship isstrengthened by the partial mediation of innovation self-efficacy. As such, this study suggests that the developmentof innovation self-efficacy is important in cultivating engineering students who are interested in impact

].ABET mandates that students have a “major design experience” [1] as part of the universityengineering curriculum. This experience usually consists of a capstone design course (orcourses). These courses are often used to assess the achievement of student outcomes, and anumber of methodologies and rubrics have been developed for this purpose [19-24]. Within thecontext of design skill assessment, specific traits have been studied, including professionalism[25], ethics [26], teamwork [27] and life-long learning [28].Despite the amount of work devoted to assessing design at certain points of student development,typically in introductory and capstone design courses, relatively little exists to measure thechange (and hopefully improvement) of design
