As an NJIT student in the BME department, I personally believe this is a proper investment. Ceteris paribus, what separates two engineers are their interpersonal skills. However, a key assumption is that both individuals have a solid foundation in their respective fields. Without that technical foundation, interpersonal skills are not as impactful. We are currently building that foundation which we will rely on throughout our careers. Once we have done that, we can layer on and incorporate interpersonal skills.
