Soft and transferable skills acquisition is currently perceived as a core component of doctoral studies. Examples include writing and communication, teamwork, time management, leadership, resource management, negotiation, problem solving, listening, planning, entrepreneurial spirit, mastering ethics awareness, etc. The need for such skills is due to the leading role that doctoral students are expected to play in society. As such, various organizations have issued recommendations for doctoral programs to include a formal component of soft skills training. In this article, an effective way of introducing soft and transferable skills acquisition in doctoral engineering education is introduced. Namely, a form of collaborative project-based learning is designed as a compulsory course. This includes a set of base lectures, a long period of parallel working groups focusing on the various aspects of organizing an international conference, running the actual conference, and performing a post-conference assessment. Results and lessons learned demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach.DEE2010-C2 Robótica e Manufactura Integrada por ComputadorCTS - Centro de Tecnologia e SistemasUNINOVA-Instituto de Desenvolvimento de Novas TecnologiasDEE - Departamento de Engenharia Electrotécnica e de ComputadoresDEE2010-A2 ElectrónicaDEE2010-C1 Sistemas Digitais e PercepcionaisDEE2010-B1 EnergiaRUNCamarinha-Matos, Luis M.Goes, JoãoGomes, LuisPereira, Pedro2021-03-08T23:42:45Z2020-09-052020-09-05T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article15application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/113500eng2227-7102PURE: 19898939https://doi.org/10.3390/educsci10090235info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:56:29Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/113500Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:42:19.296145Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
