Abstract

• University education nowadays commits much resources to enhancing students’ soft skills, such as teamwork, leadership, global mindset, and social responsibility, and that they are considered essential for their future career.


• However, different from academic skills assessment, there is yet a systematic way to monitor students learning and development outcomes, and to evaluate the extent to which these learning and development activities (e.g. capstone projects) close the gap of the expectations on students’ career and those of society’s.


• This project aims to develop a systematic method/tool to measure the soft skills development of students acquired in capstone projects with case studies of overseas enterprises.


• The impact of these learning activities and assessment method/tool on students’ development in global competency will also be evaluated for constructing a framework for future reference.
