to manage multi-person teams on deliverable-oriented projects. Thispaper offers a review of the project management courses within Electrical and ComputerEngineering (ECE), Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ME), and Integrated SystemsEngineering (ISE). An overview of the techniques applied by the EcoCAR 3 project are alsoincluded as a proxy for the many student engineering projects that are on OSU’s campus. Thefour experiences described in this paper are: 1. ECE 6070: Project Management in Electrical and Computer Engineering 2. ME 5194: Applied Project Management and System Engineering 3. ISE 3800: Engineering Project Management 4. The Ohio State University EcoCAR 3 TeamIn the following sections, information pertaining to

Systems have been createdfor both large and small businesses that vary in complexity. Few of these approaches howeverare simple enough to be used on student design
Figure 1. The six subteams are managed by astudent Engineering Manager and a student Project Manager. Outside of the main hierarchy arethe faculty advisors who provide guidance and retain ultimate project authority and the GMMentor who provides the team’s interface to General Motors and the competition organizers. Asthe overall team operates heavily through the subteams, the analysis of the group dynamics forthe ERAU EcoCAR 3 team will be conducted by analyzing the personality traits of the subteamsand the interactions between the subteams.
