The so called ‘Soft Skills’ (SSs) are the set of non-technical skills that enable a given individual to interact effectively andharmoniously with other people. These skills are also interesting for the promotion of deep knowledge and to foster academicsuccess. The case study analyses the very special ‘Projeto FEUP’ course that promotes SSs across all engineering programmes inthe Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), in Portugal. This is done right after the arrival of students at theinstitution by means of producing several communicational items over an adequate technical work. The study involved 781students. The presented results hint that Soft Skills are, in fact, improved after half-semester but this is not the sole product of thementioned course.
