“…Curricula have already begun to be more integrated, holistic, and focused on the patient, a new trend that is gaining momentum even outside of medical education. Undergraduate colleges for example are incorporating coursework relevant to the development of human skills across all disciplines, including the humanities, business, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and health sciences (Idrus, ; Cunningham et al, ; Husin et al, ; Michalec et al, ). Interestingly, early childhood education also includes a strong focus on development of human skills with much stronger emphasis on holistic child development than what exists in subsequent elementary education (Siraj, ).…”

“…En uno de los estudios, los autores del artículo mencionan que el saber técnico no es suficiente (degree-specific knowledge), ya que se requieren habilidades transversales y estas últimas inclusive son de mayor interés para el ente empleador (Anastasiu et al, 2017). Idrus (2014) habla de la deficiencia respecto a habilidades no técnicas o blandas, que son necesarias para la gerencia en los altos mandos y posiciones de liderazgo y que inclusive les permitiría a las personas graduadas utilizar sus habilidades técnicas de una forma más efectiva. Nayak (2014) refiriéndose a la situación particular en la India, indica que los desafíos profesionales requieren que los individuos tengan habilidades duras y habilidades blandas para aumentar su empleabilidad, especialmente dada la influencia de las multinacionales en ese país.…”

“…Toda esta situación justifica la necesidad de darles mayor relevancia e integrar las habilidades blandas en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en las carreras de ingeniería y en los programas de estudio (Idrus, 2014;Mekovec et al, 2018;Parasuraman y Prasad, 2015). Del lado educativo, las personas docentes de ingeniería han sido criticadas por priorizar en la formación sobre la teoría científica, la producción de conocimiento y el análisis técnico por encima de habilidades blandas (Stawiski et al, 2017).…”
