Fostering resilience in IT: a resource toolkit for faculty

Published: 19 April 2007 Publication History

Abstract

The Fostering Resilience in IT tutorial is a hands-on training session for faculty interested in incorporating soft skills training in IT-related courses. Soft skills include such abilities as controlling and using one's emotions (emotional intelligence), dealing with team issues and stress (coping strategies) and talking the language of business. These skills are increasingly recognized as key to success in IT-related disciplines [1, 5].
