Such experiences need to be well-designed,however, in order to realize those benefits. This can include the design of physical laboratoryfacilities [8], design of the program and projects [9], [10], and enhancements to physical andorganizational infrastructure [11]. Well

Emergency remote teaching (ERT) isdefined as “a temporary shift of instructional delivery to an alternate delivery mode due to crisiscircumstances” [2, p. 7]. Emergency remote teaching is distinct from traditional online teachingand learning, in which virtual experiences and online instruction have been planned from thebeginning [2, 3].

However, when teams are formed, it is common for conflicts to occur and cause problemsin teams [2], [3]. Conflicts between individuals or groups of individuals on a team can be quitecomplex. Team-based conflicts are typically categorized into three different groups: relationshipconflict, task conflict, and process conflict [4]. Classification of a conflict is dependent uponwhat the disagreement pertains to. This paper examines how these types of conflicts impact theperceived effectiveness of engineering student teams. Relationship conflict is typically due to personality differences among teammates ordisagreements on
