Resumen de Capstone teams: an industry based model
Julie A. Reyer, Martin Morris, Scott Post
Project teams, a mainstay in industry practice, are being employed in many capstone design courses. This paper examines industrymodels for teams and their application to a specific capstone design course. Following Katzenbach and Smith’s basics of highperforming teams, teams are formed based on individuals’ skills. The team is made accountable and committed both as a groupand as individuals through the structure and format of the course. The course structure is then planned so that teams progressthrough Tuckman’s development stages of forming, storming, norming and performing, during their two semester capstone designproject.
