Through getting my bachelors degree at NJIT, I felt that my interpersonal skills have improved tremendously. Different experiences that improved my interpersonal skills included getting involved with clubs and organizations, being an the executive board of clubs and organizations, learning to work in teams in labs and engineering projects, learning to work with people who you may not get along with, figuring out how to get the most out of a class with a professor that may not fit your teaching style, figuring out how to keep composure when stressed out, overall figuring out how to communicate with the diverse student population, etc.

Studying at a university gives students the opportunity to tremendously improve their interpersonal skills and it is up to the student to take the initiative to take advantage of this. If all a student is doing is memorizing lecture material and taking exams, this technical information can be learned online without university. I think companies expect that your time at university helped you gain interpersonal skills which is why they ask so many interpersonal questions and show interest in your clubs, organizations, and group projects.
