Design-Team Performance: Metrics and the Impact of Technology

For more than fifteen years the Stanford University Center for Design Research has been concerned with the formal study of engineering product development teams at work in academic and corporate settings. This chapter describes one such effort, the implementation of team-based, distance-learning techniques in a Stanford University School of Engineering course, Team-Based Design-Development with Corporate Partners. The course is distributed nationally by the Stanford Instructional Television Network for on-campus, full-time students and off-campus, industry-based part-time students.
