Considerations for Team Formation

Project preference
All team members should have a desire to work on the same project.
Undergraduate / graduate student
It would desirable if team members were either all undergraduate or all graduate students as this makes it easier to continue projects into the Spring Quarter.
Desire to continue project work into Spring Quarter
Ideally, all team members should commit to continue their project work into the Spring Quarter.
Team's engineering skill set
The team's expertise should match up with the project needs.
Personality
There should be a compatible mix of personalities in the team.

Team Formation Preparedness

Since there is no guarantee that other students will have similar project interests, you should be prepared to do one of the following:

  1. convince others to work with you on one of your selected projects
  2. consider working with another student on a project he/she has chosen
  3. work on a project you selected as a team of one
