The Effect of Soft Skills on the Successful Employment of Future Engineers: Self-Evaluation Results by L. V. Bondareva, T. V. Potemkina, G. S. Saulembekova

“…We have found that 71.7% of all respondents who determined a high level of proficiency in “soft” skills, only 29.6% are confident that job search should not cause difficulties, 28.8% can see a clear connection between their studies and future profession, and 37% believe that they have motivation for professional fulfillment.The results of the survey based on self-evaluation showed that in spite of having a high score in evaluating their “soft” skills, the respondents express extreme uncertainty that they will be competitive enough outside the university and that will be prepared to apply the skills which are crucial for successful employment.…”

Neural Network Adaptive Inverse Control of Flexible Joint Space Manipulator Considering the Influence of Gravity by Shaoqing Li, Lingcong Meng, Kai Fang, Fucai Liu

“…With the aim of correcting the problem of trajectory tracking control of a flexible joint space manipulator in environments with different gravity, a neural network adaptive inverse control algorithm based on singular perturbation theory is proposed to resist the disturbance caused by system uncertainty. Firstly, the dynamic model of a flexible joint space manipulator with the influence of gravity is established, and then the system is divided into a fast subsystem and a slow subsystem using singular perturbation theory. …”
