Team Structure

Business then gives way to the business department of the team. The Engineering Branch is then divided into three departments: software, electrical, and mechanical. There is one student leader who leads the entire team. Each department has a leader who is in charge of their department and all members and issues in their jurisdiction. The team meets at the end of each year to pick the leader of each category. To do this, candidates are chosen when a team member gives a recommendation. Candidates selected for the same position must write a speech explaining why they are best suited for the position.
