Teams

The skills you need to work in a team are in demand. In order to work successfully in a team, you will need some common sense and some common courtesy. The information presented here has been amassed in order to give you information about team operation. If you would like more information, please follow the links within and at the bottom of this page.

The definition of a team in Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary is "a number of persons associated together in work or activity: as a group on one side (as in football or a debate)." The main idea of a group is to work together toward a common goal. In this design project, the goal is to design an item and write a formal design report detailing the design. Every team member should be working toward this goal.
