Motivation
The individual engineer churning out solutions to complex equations alone in a cubicle has become a thing of the past. Increasingly, engineers and scientists are called upon to work on teams to rapidly and effectively accomplish major tasks for their organization. Becoming an effective member of this new work force requires technical proficiency, and successful collaboration. Engineers possessing excellent technical skills as well as leadership and management experience are an asset to any industry or institution fortunate enough to acquire their services.
In Unified Engineering 16.030-040 you will work in teams for the duration of the Spring semester. Your goal is to win the aerial design competition, by redesigning modified Dragonfly remotely controlled model airplanes. The path to success consists not only of good technical analysis, effective manufacturing and skillful piloting. Experience from past years shows that those teams are usually most successful who can work together well, that subdivide and integrate tasks between team members effectively and that keep open channels of communication.
Assignment
Pick up a team assignment sheet before the first lecture. There will be no changes to the assigned team structure. Informally meet with your teammates after lecture and agree on your first meeting time and location.
