Expository approaches in project management
education do not seem engage engineering students, who lack
transferable competencies. This article reviews the project
management competencies, Generation Z profile, and teaching
methods trends reported in the literature. It presents a study
involving 147 engineering students, through a self-report
questionnaire, to explore their profile's self-awareness and
compare it with the literature. A correlational study links the
Generation Z personality traits with project management soft
skills. Findings reveal interesting personality characteristics of
Generation Z engineering students for project management.
The sample showed low recognition of their individualism, less
personal relationships, and did not value their creative
potential. Some traits have a significant effect on critical soft
skills. Other soft skills were not supported in personality traits.
This work suggests implications for re-think educational
approaches to Generation Z engineering students.
