Abstract
This research aims 1) study the desirable characteristics of the Pre-Engineering students, 2) develop the desirable characteristics enhancing program of the Pre-Engineering students, and 3) study the effectiveness of the desirable characteristics enhancing program of the Pre-Engineering students. The sample was selected by a purposive sampling technique, including 14 Pre-Engineering students. The instruments as in-depth interview questions, the desirable characteristics enhancing program and the results of the desirable characteristics enhancing program questionnaires were used for collecting data. Content analysis was employed for data analysis of qualitative research. Mean, standard deviation, and Nonparametric test by Wilcoxon signed-rank test method were employed to analyze quantitative data.
The results indicated that 1) the desirable characteristics of the Pre-Engineering students were (1) Hard skills included calculation skill, analytical ability, and problem solving in engineering and (2) Soft skills included critical thinking, fortitude, dedicated worker, leadership, relationship, communication, teamwork, professionalism and decision making, 2) the desirable characteristics enhancing program consist of (1) concepts (2) objectives (3) contents (4) activities which are included 4 activities; (4.1) field trip study (4.2) engineering technology learning base (4.3) encouragement, self-awareness, create a life plan and (4.4) personality development and (5) evaluation, and 3) the results of the program were found that the average of Pre-Engineering students’ desirable characteristics in both hard skills and soft skills after participating in the activities were different as statistically significant.
