Toaccomplish this mission, the objectives of the proposed line of research were phased accordingly:Phase 1: Develop a novel adaptive near-UV imaging algorithm. The goal of this phase was toexplore a hybrid reflected and fluorescent UV imaging method in the near-UV spectrum (300-400 nm wavelengths) for machine vision applications.Phase 2: Integrate the proposed machine vision algorithm into an existing surfacedisinfection platform. In this phase, the proposed algorithm in phase 1 will be integrated into anexisting UV surface disinfection mobile platform to semi-autonomously navigate

Onesignificant trend is that civil design and site design firms are requiring recently hired graduates tobe more proficient in computer aided drafting [10]. ABET requirements leave little room toincrease the curriculum to meet ever increasing industry demands. Employers and instructorsagree that in regard to computer aided drafting, integrating software programs with currentcurriculum lessons to allow students to not necessarily gain expertise but familiarization may bea winning strategy for all civil engineering stakeholders. However, institutions have beenstruggling with this logistical time crunch to meet changing industry demand for decades [11].On the other hand
