, 2015 An Approach to Teaching People Skills in Senior Design Project Courses Introduction The premise of this paper is that most engineering students are ill-prepared for the demands their careers will place on them to interact with other people one-on-one, within teams, and within organizations—organizations that are often global in character. The senior design project provides an opportunity (literally a last chance) for graduating seniors to recognize and develop people skills needed for success. Because the project is intended to simulate real engineering practice, the faculty member can observe each student’s people skill level in project context and at a minimum provide insights and coaching to each student in order to improve those
