In the fall of 1999, an international integrated product development pilot project based collaborative engineering was started with team members in two international teams from the United States, The Netherlands and Germany. Team members interacted using various Internet capabilities, including, but not limited to, ICQ (means: I SEEK YOU, an internet feature which immediately detects when somebody comes on line), web phones, file servers, chat rooms and Email along with video conferencing. For this study a control group with all members located in the USA only also worked the same project.
