Theresearch question is: Could CATME help to identify team conflicts and leadership in a multi-disciplinary small-size team environment?Experimental MethodsTwelve undergraduate students (most of them were first-year students) were split into twoproject teams with even student numbers. Team A aimed to build a soft robotic gripper, whileTeam B aimed to build a voice-activated robotic arm. During the team formation stage, Team Aused an interest-driven approach to assign individual tasks, while Team B used a merit-basedapproach to assign individual tasks. In Team A, the students were allocated the tasks based ontheir own learning objectives. In Team B, the
