| Abstract | Companies worldwide are facing an acute shortage of qualified graduates in STEM disciplines, in particular those with more non-technical skills, such as teamwork, innovative thinking, communication, adaptability and emotional intelligence. A top U.S. university calls it the missing "third space" set of skills beyond hard business and technical knowledge. Recent findings of neuroscience affirm the critical role of emotions, "heart" intelligence and mind-body links in learning and cognition. A core foundation of the "third skills set" is mindfulness based emotional intelligence, consistent with ancient Eastern wisdom traditions. The author passionately believes we have to think outside-the-box to bring such skills into the education of STEM graduates in Asia as well as around the world. |
