During fall 2009 more than 100 students that followed the course on Project Leadership as part of their education in the Master Strategic Product Design (Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at the TU Delft) wrote the book "TEAMWORKS".  The  book is based on the first results of the questionnaire concerning student teamwork that is linked to this web-site.

The chapters of the book were written in 8 weeks. Then a Publishing Team of 10 students took over and prepared the book for publication, designed the cover, brainstormed about the title (TeamWorks) and made sure that the first 400 copies could be produced by Sieca Repro in Delft. The whole exercise took exactly 3 months. On December 9, 2009 the 'zero'-edition of this book was presented to Paul Rullmann, the Vice President Education from the Delft University of Technology!

The book will be further developed into a commercial version, the First Edition, later this year. In the meanwhile we will continue our research regarding student teamwork. Therefore we need as many universities all over the world to participate in our research. At the moment links have been established with Ecole des Mines in Paris (Mines ParisTech), Stanford University in California, Technion in Israel, Salford University in England, Technical University of Denmark, Tel Aviv University in Israel and Linköping University in Sweden. We hope that all these universities ask their students to fill in the questionnaire like more than 2000 students from Delft University of Technology already did. We will continue our work that aims at supporting the students in their education related teamwork.
