TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present fundamental insights, results, challenges, and implications derived from a nine-month engineering project between students from Stanford University and Hasso Plattner Institute, their focus user group, and their client principal.
Abstract: Globally distributed engineering teams face particular challenges regarding collaboration and communication. Spatial, temporal and cultural distances force a virtual cooperation that must adequately enable idea mediation and decision making within engineering teams. Thus, the engineering management plays a central role and therefore has to react to support and govern those teams. On this perspective, this contribution shares fundamental insights, results, challenges, and implications derived from a nine-month engineering project between students from Stanford University and Hasso Plattner Institute, their focus user group, and their client principal-a leading German engineering enterprise conglomerate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the integration of a medium-scale PV plant using different architectural solutions is presented, mainly focused on safety and protection systems, with a total power of 200 kWp.
Abstract: This project consists in the installation of four photovoltaic subgenerators connected to the low voltage grid at Jaen University Campus (Spain), with a total power of 200 kWp. The Univer Project is developed under the Thermie Programme of the EU, with a budget of about 1.8 M euros. The main objective is the integration of a medium scale PV plant using different architectural solutions. This project presents two innovative aspects: on the one hand, the development of the technology necessary to implement medium-high scale PV plants in crowded places, mainly focused on safety and protection systems; on the other, the development and analysis of different architectural solutions to integrate PV generators using constructive structures easily replicable.

03 Apr 2014TL;DR: This project included the definition of the balloon parameters and the scientific instruments for performing atmospheric measurements, the development of all mechanical and electronic parts, the administration of the project as well as the management tasks related to the balloon launch.
Abstract: During a student project a stratosphere balloon was developed and launched This project included the definition of the balloon parameters and the scientific instruments for performing atmospheric measurements, the development of all mechanical and electronic parts, the administration of the project as well as the management tasks related to the balloon launch The main challenge for the students was the high complexity of the project due to tasks involving many different knowledge domains and the long project duration from the initial definition to the launch

27 Jul 1997TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of negotiations between an Australian project team and the Vietnamese authorities to install the first mobile telecommunications network in the country is presented, with particular reference to the use made of multimedia authoring facilities.
Abstract: Success in negotiations between East and West often hinges on cross-cultural issues. This paper presents a case study of negotiations between an Australian project team and the Vietnamese authorities to install the first mobile telecommunications network in the country. Issues during the design, development and delivery phase of the project are documented with particular reference to the use made of multimedia authoring facilities.
