Re: What Contributes the Most to a Team's Success?

An engineer should evaluate this is a systematic fashion. Compare each factor to every other factor.

Can facilities give you practice robot? No. Can facilities give you a good sponsor? maybe, but probably not. Can a good sponsor give you facilities? Yes. Can experienced mentors give you dedicated students? Yes. Can dedicated students get you experienced mentors? Yes, but it takes a few years.

Complete that for every pair and you've done a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairwise_comparison] and it should be trivial to see what is the most important.
