    As an undergraduate I had to form a project team for a senior design project and I formed a group with two other friends. I worked with these two friends previously on other projects and we worked extremely well with one another. We all carried a skillset in a subject such as mechanics, electrical and coding. Sometimes it is advised not to form a team with friends because you ill clash heads on different decisions which might affect your friendship. When creating a project team, I would advise people to pick people based one’s knowledge and compatibility in terms of personality. If someone is an expert at a role that does not mean that they would be a great fit with your group. You must have someone that works well with your team, so they need to have a balance between skillset and communication.Your project team members should be able to take criticism without getting emotional, and their should be a separation between being friendly and working with one another.
