Considerations for Team Formation
- Project
preference
- All team members should have a
desire to work on the same project.
- Team's engineering skill
set
- The team's expertise should
match up with the project's fabrication requirements.
- 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.

Questions to ask Potential Project Team Members
- Do you have fabrication / PRL
experience?
- Do you have sufficient time to
devote to this project?
- Are you taking other project
courses this quarter?
- Do you have a passion for this
project?
- Is there any reason that you
would not make a good team member?

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
- keep an open mind

Available Team Projects
Here is a listing of available
team projects with links to their descriptions in the order of their pitch
presentation. (Projects that have already been chosen by a project team are not
shown.)

Project Selection & Team Formation
Procedure
Procedure:
- Make sure the project your are
interested in is available
- Refer to
Preference by Projects and contact other students
who have similar project interests
- Verify their desire and
availability to work on the project
- Once a team of three or
four is formed, email Dave with your project selection, team members, and
team name (optional)
Policies:
- Students currently on this
Wait List can be chosen to be on a project team, but their official enrollment
in the course is still pending.
- Teams will have three or four
members
- The Magical Bridge Playground
Project can support two teams
- Projects are reserved on a
"first to email" basis

Description:
Hi
everyone, I'm Aqib a senior Mechanical Engineer with a concentration in Product
Realization. I'm currently working on my senior capstone project with
Volkswagen where my team and I are designing a solution for people in
wheelchairs to go in and out of the car. My skills include all types of
fabrification in the PRL from woodworking to welding. I have pretty extensive
skills with design and testing of products. I also do a great job of working
and leading team efforts in order to pace us for meeting project deadlines.
Lastly, I'm excited to be apart of the class! |

I am super
excite to work to benefit people with disabilities and older adults. As a
member of Stanford men's soccer I have been involved in volunteering for the
Green Giants, a soccer team for disabled children in the Bay Area. I loved
working with them, and it was a ton of fun. I have a little experience in
woodshed and CAD prior to Stanford. I also have experience presenting and
giving speeches in front of crowds, as well as writing briefs. I'm typically
free in the evenings during the week (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays) and
completely free on weekends. Looking forward to the class! |

Description:
Current
Senior in ME, product realization track. I am quite solid on all processes in
the PRL and AMPs. Great on CAD(fusion 360), FEA, rapid prototyping(I got an
ender 3 Pro in my room in case of crunch time lol), engineering
analysis(fluids, thermo). I loathe presentations but will do them and will
always try my best. I'm taking 21 units including ME capstone(ME 170B) and ME
104 which are my main priorities. Most of my work will be done async. For my
capstone I am designing a tilt-in-space wheelchair for Tanzanians that require
wheelchair support, and I love that my work is for the benefit of others in a
very direct way. |

I'm a first
year master's student in ME (manufacturing and product realization). I've
enjoyed fabricating assistive technology projects for a clinic in Eugene Oregon
for the past ten years. I have experience working with teams on engineering
projects, including with my twin brother since middle school, in a robotics
team in highschool, and in many class projects in college. I plan to spend more
than 5 hours a week on this class, though I would rather most of those
additional hours be on fabrication and prototype testing, not report writing.
