. The proposed algorithm uses a hyperspectralimaging technique to obtain the electromagnetic spectrum information from the pixels in the UVimage to identify the wavelength range. Hyperspectral imaging measures the spatial and spectralcharacteristics of an object by imaging it at different wavelengths. The wavelength range extendsbeyond the visible spectrum and covers ultraviolet (UV) to long wave infrared (LWIR)wavelengths. A hyperspectral imaging sensor acquires several numbers of images with narrowand neighboring wavelengths within a specified spectral range. To visualize and understand theobject being imaged, it is useful to represent the data as a 2-D image by using color schemes.The proposed algorithm represented the output of the

collaborativelearning led to higher levels of student engagement, self-efficacy and desire to complete a STEM majorwhile lowering the sense of competition among the students [33]. This means that cooperative learningcan encourage student academic performance during instructional activities. This means thatcooperative learning can encourage student academic performance during instructional activities. Inaddition to self-efficacy, collaborative learning has positive impacts on student knowledge buildingand ultimately (possibly most importantly) improved course grades [34]. This study, conducted on agroup of 513 students, 16% of whom were female, showed through the use of multivariate analysis Proceedings of the 2021 ASEE Gulf-Southwest

mental health and academic success for college students.33,34,35,36 Anecdotally, it was the authors’ experience in working with students in each speciality area (instruction of engineering content, mental health counseling and academic counseling), that students often view these components as separate and disconnected. However, it is our view that these aspects are closely interconnected and can have a cyclical effect, i.e. increasing students’ awareness and use of strategies that improve mental health positively impact academic performance,33, 35 and using effective organizational and learning strategies improve students’ academic success and therefore their self-efficacy, motivation and overall mental health.34, 36 Starting
