As a graduating senior in the BME department, I am currently working on my senior project with a group of my fellow students. Throughout the fall semester I was able to realize the qualities I prefer when picking the ideal project team. I believe the ideal project team is a group of individuals who are extremely dedicated to the project, each team member has a different set of skills, leadership, problem solving, and most importantly, COMMUNICATION. During the duration of my senior project, I had a group member who prioritized everything over our project and our advisor acknowledged the fact that we had a huge issue with our communication because decisions were made without group approval which caused a lot of arguments and setbacks. A project is only successful when the team is able to work together efficiently.
