Soft skills that students addressed were higher-order thinking skills,communication, teamwork, professionalism, and networking. Higher-order thinking skills thatstudents addressed include analytical, critical, problem solving skills and creativity.Communication includes communication skills with peers, research teams, and people fromdifferent disciplines of research, presentation of the research through posters, and writing skills.Professionalism includes persistence, patience, confidence, independence or autonomy, and timemanagement.Among hard skills

academically gifted, low-income Black students to earnCS degrees in four years and pursue careers in the field of CS. In the spring of 2023, wesuccessfully recruited and retained the first cohort of six talented students (i.e., S-STEM scholars).In the fall of 2023, we recruited a second cohort of five students.Throughout the past year, we provided a series of mentoring and professional developmentopportunities to the S-STEM scholars, fostering their personal and professional growth. Some ofthese opportunities were extended to the entire university to maximize the program’s impact. Keyactivities included career mentoring, technical skill development (specifically in Pythonprogramming), soft skill development, undergraduate research, and high school

enough to ensurestudents reach their desired outcomes [27].The benefit of WREAs toward employability originates primarily through skill development andthe expansion of personal networks. For example, research suggests that internships serve as away to build technical, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills [18]. Although postsecondaryeducation and engagement in WREAs contribute to broad human capital and aid in developingan individual’s critical thinking, skills are environmentally contextualized in how they form andare employed [28]. As such, we should strive to think of soft skills, such as communication andleadership, within the context of the environment in which they form to adequately understand astudent’s ability to navigate an

Students were provided with the criteria about writing a technicalreport and inclusion of required materials.Another goal of this course was to improve student‘s soft skills. Engineering and sciencecurricula often focus on the technical abilities of students, neglecting the ―soft skills‖ that willoften determine success or failure for graduates when they enter the workforce. As an example,project management skills are often neglected in an engineering or science curriculum, requiringadditional training for those engineers who end up in management positions. Skills such as theability to lead and work effectively as a member of a team are frequently identified as critical tothe

It is well-documented that engineering remains a fairly male dominated field, 7 and therehave been initiatives at many institutions, including Stout, to increase the participation of femalesin the field. In contrast, EWB events are about evenly attended by women and men, and womenare leaders in many chapters. Several women, both students and professional members, noted thatEWB has made the difference for them between staying in the field and moving to a differentcareer path since there is more space for collaboration and a value placed on ”soft skills” that areoften

Projects cover a wide variety of engineering majors including civil, mechanical,electrical, bio and computer.

In STEM fields, a slow paradigm shift towardsstudent-centered learning has begun to extend opportunities to undergraduates to foster learninggains beyond the acquisition of disciplinary content. However, most classroom assessmentapproaches continue to be solely centered on the students’ mastery of content and do not assessstudent performance in the area of process skills. This is of significant concern because of thestrong influence assessment has on students

Employers are known to value employees andpotential employees who demonstrate what are often referred to as professional or soft skills, suchas persistence, self-direction, and adaptability [1, 2, 3]. As a typical undergraduate program isthree or four years, we have a short time to take young people straight out of high school and turnthem into nascent professionals. This means that we must find the space and time in our programsto develop these “professional skills.”Terms such as “soft skills,” “human skills,” and “noncognitive skills” [4, 5, 6] are frequently usedin the popular press but have varying definitions and

Most STEM curriculums emphasize technical knowledge withoutconcern for the social implications or the historical and social contextualization of science andtechnology in our modern world and our shared global past. This has led to the development ofpedagogical approaches designed to promote the training of engineering students as specialists intheir narrow disciplines while relegating the study of humanities to the “soft skills” involved ininterpersonal relationships [2].The humanities ground
