10. 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.

11. 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.
