How have the software engineers settled into the project?

Our Computer Science studentsSince the start of the spring semester of 2023, the rover team got six new team members. They are not electrical or mechanical engineering students but computer science students. Unlike the existing team members, they are also part-time students. So they work at least 50% of their time in a company. This provides a benefit because they have much experience working on projects. These six software engineers were given the tasks to create, manage and improve the software and environment of the rover setup. What challenges did the software engineers face, and how does this project differ from the software projects they are used to?The first few weeks were challenging for us. It was less because of the tasks provided to us but more due to the organization and coordination, or lack thereof with the students from different majors. The project management methods differ greatly between software…
