Soft Skills in Software Engineering Education: Improving Team Formation and Performance Prediction

Software engineering education increasingly emphasizes hands-on experience through real-world projects. While technical proficiency is rigorously assessed, soft skills, such as communication, leadership, and adaptability, play a crucial role in team performance and project success. This study investigates the impact of soft skills on group dynamics in the Software Engineering course at Groningen University, where students work on real, industry-led projects.

Abstract

Software engineering education increasingly emphasizes hands-on experience through real-world projects. While technical proficiency is rigorously assessed, soft skills, such as communication, leadership, and adaptability, play a crucial role in team performance and project success. This study investigates the impact of soft skills on group dynamics in the Software Engineering course at Groningen University, where students work on real, industry-led projects.
