ENGG3800 is a learning-by-doing class that endeavors to teach issues in management, teamwork, communication and design by giving teams of four students the opportunity to design and build a complete product in a loosely structured team environment. The substance of the subject revolves about the design and implementation of a product to conform to a customer's needs. The design of this product should not be overly challenging for a student with second year technical knowledge; limited technical tuition is provided with the course. The most challenging aspects will come from the requirements to work effectively in a group, operate to fixed deadlines, and report regularly on progress. This course is meant to be enjoyable. If you get involved in the course, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun.
Team Project courses address a wide range of goals for the learner from personal development to technical experience. Working in a team you may be only lightly exposed to some technical skill areas, while deeply developing your abilities in other technical areas. You will be responsible for your learning - choose your areas of expertise and interest in conjunction with your team. The goals related to personal development, on the other hand, are the core learning goals for the course that will relate to every member of the team. During this course you will:
· Experience working in a small but diverse team.
· Practice informal team building skills.
· Resolve conflicts and negotiate solutions.
· Develop formal meeting skills.
· Write formal technical reports.
· Plan a complex project to a fixed timeline and budget.
