The dependent variable, the performance of the design team, was measured by whether the teams advance to the semifinal or not. The sample of this study is based on the “Design Competition” and this research divided into two phases for analysis. The first phase is a quantitative study. Participants are required to fill out the questionnaire when registering online. After sorting the data, there are 319 people grouping into 171 teams, deleting the invalid questionnaire and single participants, there are 148 teams was composed of 296 team members, the valid response rate is 92.7%.
