WHY WORK IN TEAMS? THERE ARE SEVERAL GOOD REASONS:

Engineers work in teams, so it's good to develop these skills as early as possible.

Research shows that we all learn effectively from each other. Hence, your teams should be learning teams, with the focus on helping each other to learn.

Teams are much more effective than individuals for work on complex projects.

Teamwork develops your interpersonal skills in coping with conflict, in being a chairperson, in developing your interdependence and accountability and in developing your sense of self esteem. This aids your personal development and your non-work-related relationships.

EFFECTIVE TEAMS Why do some groups accomplish very little, while

others achieve much more? This difference stems very much from the

processes within the group - its inner dynamics or workings. The features of an effective team include:

• combined group effort of all members • clear goals • group members focused on learning • mutual trust and support • open communication • democratic processes.
