Employers today are increasingly recognizing the significance of soft skills, and students are well aware of this crucial fact. Upon graduation, students are expected to possess a firm grasp of the technical skills directly related to their completed courses, whether at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level. However, there is another realm of skills that can profoundly impact securing initial employment and, more importantly, advancing one’s professional journey. The importance of developing soft skills cannot be overstated, as they have the potential to shape the future of current and aspiring university students. Providing training in these essential skills becomes a pivotal aspect of their overall development. A comprehensive handbook outlining strategies for enhancing the most sought-after skills serves as a valuable resource for both students and lecturers, facilitating the integration of these vital competencies into traditional university programs. In 2016, during a PLA (Peer Learning Activity) titled “Developing future skills in higher education,” and organized by the Working Group on the Modernization of Higher Education (WG-MHE) of the European Commission, a framework on soft skills was developed. These PLA seminars bring together ministries and HEI representatives to share experiences and help identify common areas for further work and cooperation at the European level [1]. This framework, as defined by the EU Skills panorama [2] and The Occupational Information Network (O*NET) [3], represents the core of the contents of this book. More recently, and also with the support of the European Commission, other frameworks have been published focusing on more specific soft skills: – LifeComp, on personal, social, and learning to learn competencies [4]; – DigComp, related to digital competencies [5]; – GreenComp, which focuses on sustainability competency [6]; and – EntreComp, for promoting entrepreneurship [7]. These new paradigms are also included in the different chapters, linked to the fundamental collection from O*NET [3]. Education in Engineering has been traditionally focused on providing technical knowledge for future engineers. Thus, they are generally good professionals with a strong background in both basic sciences, mainly Mathematics and Physics, and in specific topics related to each engineering branch. Now, with this book, professors and lecturers have a tool to support the integration of soft skills within engineering academic programs. By recognizing the significance of soft skills and equipping students with the tools to cultivate them, universities can empower their graduates to thrive in the competitive professional landscape. This handbook aims to serve as a roadmap for unlocking and developing these highly sought-after skills, benefiting both individuals embarking on their careers and institutions committed to nurturing wellrounded and successful professionals.
