For many years, engineering professor Dan Dolan taught students what he knew: engineering. However, this engineer began to realize teaching isn't black and white, and to truly educate in STEM, we need to be teaching emotional intelligence in engineering classrooms. Dan explores how and why these "soft" skills produce better hard science. I grew up on a small dairy farm in western Minnesota. I spent 2 years at St. John’s University and then completed bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD degrees at the University of Minnesota. I spent a year at the University of Duisburg in West Germany on a Humboldt fellowship. I have taught at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology for 36 years. For the past 20 of those years I have been studying teaming and leadership development in engineering students, and advising intercollegiate engineering design competition teams. I have been humbled by the complexity of coaching over 100 of these teams. I have found a deep interest in the psychology of teaming and leadership. I am equally intrigued by engineering and psychology and music. I completed a graduate psychology certificate program in higher ed assessment from James Madison University in 2017. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
