Free Download Soft Skills: How to See, Measure and Build the Skills that Make Us Uniquely Human by Mihnea Moldoveanu
English | April 22, 2024 | ISBN: 3111050599 | MOBI | 2.55 Mb
Although communicative and relational skills are currently in the greatest demand in organizations large and small, we are as educators, executives, and talent developers very far away from the kind of precision in identifying, measuring, selecting and developing these skills that we have achieved with cognitive and technical skills. At the same time, the relentless automation of swaths of human tasks has placed a sharp light on the ‘quintessentially human skills’ – those that cannot and in some cases should not be subject to algorithmic automation. This book aims to ‘change the soft skills game’ by introducing language for identifying and describing them, ways of measuring the degree to which a person possesses them and selecting those who possess them in the utmost from those less skilled, and ways of helping students and executives alike develop them, through a methodology that has been designed and practiced for the past ten years.

A, B, See… in 3D A Workbook to Improve 3-D Visualization Skills


Free Download Dan G. Dimitriu, "A, B, See… in 3D: A Workbook to Improve 3-D Visualization Skills"
English | ISBN: 1627058184 | 2015 | 146 pages | PDF | 7 MB
The workbook provides over 100 3D visualization exercises challenging the student to create three dimensions from two. It is a powerful and effective way to help engineering and architecture educators teach spatial visualization. Most of the 3-D visualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphics classes present the objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multiple views, fold patterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. The exercises presenting the objects in incomplete multiview projections asking the students to add missing lines use mostly real 3D objects that are more easily recognizable to help the student correlate 2D with 3D.
