Team EULER appointed their own positions during the first 2 weeks. Team members self-identified their strengths and weaknesses and then were given the opportunity to select project-oriented positions and collaborators. These 1-4 possible collaborators are members with matching goals, but mismatching strengths. Members working alongside their collaborator(s) should receive insight into subjects within Mechanical Engineering in which they may not be the strongest. This facilitates building upon underdeveloped skills and improving teamwork, even as late as senior year. Team EULER unanimously proposed that the roles get switched to prevent frustration and loss of motivation during this 1-year endeavor. This gives everyone an opportunity to try out more than one role throughout the lifetime of the project. The team is planning on switching roles quarterly but transactions between team members can be made to swap roles at any time if needed. The team roles that are in place are actually quite fluid for us. Many parts of the project will require a substantial overlap of the assigned roles; this is why we deliberately defined the roles so that some teammates’ responsibilities coincide with others. This aids in evenly spreading the workload across the entirety of Team EULER.
