I know that teamwork is necessary in most engineering jobs. How many people are usually on a team?
All complex products have teams with multiple disciplines. Think of a product like a jet engine. A wide range of skills – structural analysis, fluid flow, thermal technology, mechanics, project management, production, and manufacturing – are needed. Some companies use Integrated Product Teams to develop new products. These team usually have a member of each discipline assigned for the length of the project. There could be from five to 50 people on the team who might meet once a week.
