Achieving Teamwork in Design Projects: Development and Preliminary Results of a Spreadsheet ToolAbstractTeamwork is instrumental for the success of many engineering design projects. Properlyexecuted, outstanding teams utilize skills involving collaboration, communication, decisionmaking, and self-management as they develop concepts, configurations, and detail designs.Not all engineering students have or use teamwork skills, however. And it may not be their fault.In some cases, course instructors incorrectly assume that students have learned teamwork skills,and will automatically use them. In other cases, instructors provide a meager introduction toteamwork, but do not follow up. We can, and must, further improve students’ teamwork skills
