摘要:This paper discusses the most important social skills for engineering professionals during the social distancing of the Covid-19 pandemic. A systematic literature review, in the Science Direct Scopus Web of Science databases, with subsequent classification of the articles captured by the Index Ordinatio algorithm, was carried out to understand the most important skills for engineering during the pandemic. The results pointed to resilience as the most important soft skill. Characteristics that make up emotional intelligence, such as adaptability and emotional growth, were also found. These soft skills are especially important in adverse conditions, such as the one imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which apply not only to individuals, but to organizations as a whole.
