Coaching Design Project TeamsThe Coaching approach includes developing students: Design skills Project mgt skills, and Teamwork skills

We are the head coaches, we are responsible for a winning season. R. J. Eggert, 20106/8/2010*

To coach a winning semester we need a winning attitude:"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." Vince Lombardi R. J. Eggert, 20106/8/2010*
