What is Teambuilding

Chapter 3
Handbook of Research on Improving Engineering Education With the European Project Semester
The process of encouraging group members to work well together and the activities that help a group work together more effectively as a team. It is commonly used as a two-word noun, i.e., team building, and as a hyphenated word when referring to team-building activities, exercises, and skills. The authors found it more appropriate to use a single word when teambuilding is the focus.

This chapter presents some central findings on efficient teams and teambuilding and gives suggestions on a few useful tools to help build high-performing teams. Building trust within a team is paramount. Understanding one's own contribution and the value of others, different contributions are also important.
