We have three student captains, who do a lot of the organization, planning, and general leadership of the team, and an outreach director. First, candidates for these positions submit resumes to the mentors, who choose all the qualified candidates. Then, the students vote to make the final decision.

During the build season, we have four engineering subteams (Controls, Chassis, Above Chassis, Fabrication) and each subteam has a team leader, responsible for coordinating meetings, planning schedules, etc., and a head engineer, responsible for overseeing engineering and integrating systems. All the head engineers and team leaders meet together regularly throughout the build season as the systems team.

The system is pretty complicated, but it works well, and it gives a lot of different students opportunities to take leadership responsibilities.
