weekly progress reports and gather input from theircustomers. Their work culminates in a prototype demonstration and final report to documenttheir work for teams who will carry it forward in future terms.Course StructureThe ENGR 151 course is taught on an 11 week quarter system. It begins with a three weekintroduction to computer programming and microcontrollers. Class time is dominated by a seriesof lab activities. Each lab starts with one to three microcontroller circuit tutorials that integratenew programming and electronics concepts before students complete a mini-design challenge tointegrate new learning into a small design project implemented on their breadboard. This work iscomplemented by brief lectures and peer instruction using

For this review, the team bound the study and selection criteria to ensure that thescholarship included was relevant to the topical area rather than simply relying on theresearchers’ familiarity or agreement with the available scholarship. Exclusion criteria wereidentified to outline how researchers eliminated studies from consideration and defined thepurpose of the study (DePoy & Gitlin, 1994). For this study, inclusion and exclusion criteriaincluded: 1 1. The study was published between 2013 and 2023. 2. The study was peer-reviewed articles, book chapters

realm of artificial intelligence(AI) research. By focusing on the development and implementation of real-time computer visionon energy-efficient Cortex-M microprocessors, we offer a practical and educational avenue forstudents to delve into the burgeoning field of AI. Through a combination of theoreticalunderstanding and practical application, students are empowered to explore AI concepts, gainproficiency in low-power computing, and contribute to real-world AI projects. Furthermore, theproject offered student interns a valuable opportunity to refine their research capabilities,particularly in the realms of scientific writing and presentation, while simultaneously boostingtheir self-assurance and enthusiasm for pursuing STEM careers in the field

interested in partnering with EngineeringMomentum to offer summer internships to both university students and early-stage communitycollege students interested in engineering.Engineering Momentum valued a collaboration with SPUR—benefitting from its expertise andtrack record of opening new pathways for qualified interns—which would allow communitycollege students to enter the program. Engineering Momentum placed 20 community collegestudents in 2023 through SPUR. Another 10 students interned at the University of ColoradoDenver, and five community college students interned at Lockheed Martin.Engineering Momentum research internships included mentoring from the professor, graduatestudents, and peer-to-peer collaboration between two- and four-year
