Abstract
This chapter discusses how design teams are formed during the STARTING phase of a project. Design teams are categorized into four classifications (pseudo, potential, real, performance teams), and the reader is instructed how to contribute to the development of their team in order to facilitate a productive team atmosphere. Students will perform both an individual and team SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis which are then used to strengthen team dynamics. Specific expectations of Senior Design team members are defined. The reader will learn how to conduct a variety of regularly occurring team meetings, including how to develop agendas for their meetings.
