摘要由于全球化和技术的快速进步，研究人员和雇主一致认为21世纪的工程师必须具备一系列技能（例如， 团队合作，沟通和管理），这些都是过去没有强调的。作为回应，许多大学已开始实施项目变更，以培养全面的工程师。作为一种尝试，以评估大学是什么暴露他们的工程专业学生和行业的要求之间的差距，本文探讨了样本的工程专业学生的各种软技能的重要性，以及他们的大学如何准备他们在获得相关的能力的看法。学生们还调查了他们的职业抱负，试图确定这些抱负是否影响他们的看法。结果表明，虽然学生表现出显着的理解的重要性，软技能，这些看法中的一些可以归因于他们的C…
AbstractBecause of globalization and the rapid advancement of technology, researchers and employers agree that the 21st-century engineer must have a set of skills (e.g., teamwork, communication, and management) that were not emphasized in the past. In response, many universities have started to implement program changes in order to graduate well-rounded engineers. As an attempt to assess the gap between what universities are exposing their engineering students to and the requirements of the industry, this paper examines the perceptions of a sample of engineering students about the importance of various soft skills and how well their universities have prepared them in gaining the associated abilities. Students were also surveyed about their career aspirations in an attempt to determine whether these aspirations affect their perceptions. The results revealed that, although the students showed a significant understanding of the importance of soft skills, some of these perceptions can be attributed to their c...
