The students described both process and relationship conflicts within their projectteam. From our limited research, it does not appear that there is a clear relationship betweenconflict (a)symmetry and conflict type. Future research should be conducted to explore thisfurther. It should be noted that all of these conflicts were generally low intensity and no majorissues (such as a complete lack of participation from one or more team members) were present.The students felt that they were able to manage these conflicts within the team and did notattempt to utilize the

peer feedback comments? 2. What are the components of quality peer feedback, and how effective are existing rubrics in measuring the quality of peer feedback comments?II. Background A. Role of Feedback in PBL Courses Project-based learning (PBL) courses are a common pedagogical approach used to teach engineering design [13], especially in senior capstone and first-year cornerstones. The team- and project-focused nature of PBL courses helps students develop essential professional skills such as communication [14], conflict management [15], and collaboration with diverse team members [16]. Another unique aspect of the PBL format is the team dynamics in every project group. Each team forms a culture and workflow unique

Other than teachingtechnical skills, the program was also aimed to enable students to produce novel contributions tothe domain of diagnostic artificial intelligence.
