hardware—typically acamera—and software—typically control code or other image processing operations—thatinterprets information from an image to inform decisions in many different applications [1].These applications include—but are not limited to—manufacturing processes, control ofautonomous vehicles, and medical imaging. With the advent of self-driving vehicles and othersimilar technologies, students are becoming increasingly familiar with consumer uses formachine vision. In turn, the application of machine vision in various engineering disciplines isbecoming increasingly apparent to student; thus, the perceived utility of creating a machinevision system in a project-based learning environment may be motivating to students [2].Previous work

One program created learning communities: cohorts of students that attended thesame classes, lived in the same dormitories, and participated in the same service-learningactivities [21]. By practicing engineering outside of the classroom -- by solving problems forreal people -- students learn to weight constraints, evaluate feasibility, develop specifications,and prototype solutions which are very practical. Also, there are few other educationalexperiences which foster such a deep sense of purpose and such a high degree of
