The Work Context
The first thing to do is add some context the discussion and then we will start looking at the soft skills you need in the industry. Professional work is made up of deliverable chains. Each person is creating work that will be used by another person for their work. Eventually out of the chains comes built the products we use everyday.
This is fundamentally different than most academic work where homework is built up in parallel leading to a test. 
Because you are in a chain of work every delay that happens effects the whole line. So the soft skill you must have is being able to complete the task assigned to you by the due date. You must able to hit your deliverables
Soft Skills
Hitting your deliverables rests on a hierarchy skills both technical and non-technical and we will work through the whole skill stack but we will look at first are the soft skills of time management and finish point awareness. Time management you have probably heard of but in this context it is about know how much time you need to do a task, organizing when you can do it, and being aware of your progress to finish that task. Sign-Off Judgement is a skill you have not heard of but it is an essential skill that veteran engineers have even if they have not had a name for it. This skill is knowing what a complete task looks like. It is knowing all the of information you have to include, being able to present in clearly, and knowing what the audience you are producing the deliverable for. These are complicated issues, though it may not seem like it at first and we will get into the details next. And then even when you have these skills there is the part about actually doing the work 🙂
Program
The Engineer Accelerator program target this specific skill through its project. You will go through a full hardware development project from conception to physical prototype. You will see what it takes to hit your deliverables and be successful.
