I've used the "join a group of people to do [something]" structure in the following sentence:

I was invited to join a team of three other engineers to develop a knowledge-based system for neuromuscular disorders.

Is the sentence grammatically correct? What I mean is that I was invited to join a team of three other engineers and our task was to develop a knowledge-based system for neuromuscular disorders.

    Perfectly correct. This is using "to" in the sense "in order to".

    You probably don't need "other", since it is implied in context (you are joining them).

  • I would keep the 'other'. While technically user3169 is correct, people are often not that explicit with their words. A 'team of three' may not have three actual people but three positions for people. He could be the third person, making it total three.

It is grammatically correct and reads fine.

Was there a particular part that you were worried about?
