Team Formation

Index: Considerations for Team Formation; Team Formation Preparedness; Candidate Team Project Links; Students Working on Team Projects & Their Project Preferences; Preferences by Project; Formed Project Teams

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.

Friends and team members: A good friend does not necessarily make a good team mate.

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:

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