Abstract
The degree to which technical skills are needed for new graduates and early career engineers is hotly debated. By some standards, deep knowledge of digital engineering technologies has never been more important or so hard to come by. But the difference-makers, employers say, are abilities that might be thought of as “soft skills,” such as flexibility, leadership, innate curiosity, and a flair for innovation.
