The overall objective for this project was to learn how to be an effective manager through managing an MQP in another field. In order to effectively manage the MQP team, a management plan was created utilizing principles from Industrial and Management Engineering and axiomatic design. Methods used included creating a value proposition, axiomatic design decomposition, Gantt and PERT charts, and risk and failure analysis. The results show that a student can effectively and successfully manage an MQP in another field. Future MQPs may benefit from a similar position being added to their group. In conclusion, valuable management skills can be developed at a university that are applicable to work immediately after graduation.
