The 21st century engineer needs to be collaborative, communicative, and multi-disciplinary. Often, the success of your company depends on it. However, we are often ill-equipped in team settings. This panel seeks to share the experiences of team leaders and engineers who have survived collaborative technical projects. Leaders will share their tips on creating an engaging and transparent environment while engineers will describe steps they have taken to contribute to the success of their teams. Topics include changing course mid-project, avoiding burnout, communication strategies, documentation best practices, and how to quit in the middle of a project.
