In my opinion, this is a proper investment to some extension. The things that can differentiate between two engineers are their interpersonal skills. The technical knowledge, which is %30, is very important because this is the factor that could make an engineer have %70 of interpersonal skills. Students at NJIT can easily get all the technical knowledge they might need to build their own interpersonal skills on their own. However, there should be more classes that can help the students to work on their interpersonal skills because some students do not realize that they never work on their interpersonal skills. Most students focus on their technical skills more to graduate with high GPA.
